  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  A user is currently editing or processing transactions related to a specific bank area.
  The bank area is locked due to a transaction that is not yet completed or has not been released.
  There may be a session that was not properly closed, leaving the bank area in a locked state.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:

  Enter the user ID that is locking the bank area and execute the search.
  You will see the lock entries associated with that user. If the user is not actively using the session, you can delete the lock entry. However, be cautious with this step, as it may lead to data inconsistencies if the user is indeed working on something.
  
  
  
  Contact the User: If possible, reach out to the user who has locked the bank area and ask them to complete their transaction or log out of the session.
  
  
  Check for Background Jobs: Sometimes, background jobs may also lock certain areas. Check if there are any running jobs that might be causing the lock.
