Yogendra, try setting the Late Lock, and adjusting you wait time upward to
reduce record conflicts. This will free the record so that there is less
locking.
Late Material Block
This procedure provides for optimization of the material block, as:
The materials are no longer blocked exclusively, the only exception being
when actual data is to be saved.
The material is blocked exclusively at the latest time possible to keep
the blocking time as short as possible
The advantage of this procedure is that several users can enter goods
movements at the same time.
The disadvantage of this procedure is that the material master record is
read several times and, in the case of an outward movement, lock entries
of other users in the ATP server must be taken into consideration. These
additional accesses have a negative effect on performance.

Subject: [sap-log-mm] M3897: The plant data of the material

Client purchases green leaf from farmers in the form of bales of fixed
size.
The receiving stations where green leaf is received are identified as a
storage location in SAP. Multiple, such storage locations have been
defined in SAP under ONE PLANT
Green leaf is identified as a unique Material (Material Type: ROH) in SAP.
Each material is activated for batch management.
Each bale has a different set of characteristic value (ex. weight,
moisture content, position of leaf on stem etc) and hence identified as a
unique batch in SAP.
Batch number is uniquely assigned to a bale. No batch number ever gets
repeated.
Material Valuation is at plant level
We are facing a problem of material getting locked, when same material
with different batches are used in different transactions such as PGR,
outbound delivery, PGI, Physical Inventory etc at the same time.
Did any of you ever come across any a such situation where material gets
locked when simultaneous posting are carried out to the same material but
different batches.
The error message that we get is as follows:
Message no. M3897: The plant data of the material 35001615 is locked by
the user USERA
Material block is currently set at Exclusive block.
Appreciate any help on this issue. We are looking for a solution that
would allow posting of all the transactions without any locking issue
