  The SAP error message A363: Selection is only allowed if no locks are necessary typically occurs when you are trying to execute a selection operation that requires a lock on the database, but the system is unable to do so due to certain conditions. This error is often related to the way the data is being accessed or modified in the database.
  Causes:
  
  Locked Records: The records you are trying to access may be locked by another user or process. This can happen if another transaction is currently modifying the same data.
  Database Locking Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to ensure data integrity. If a selection operation requires a lock and the system cannot obtain it, this error will be triggered.
  Transaction Type: The type of transaction you are trying to perform may not allow for selection if it involves locks. For example, certain update or delete operations may conflict with selection operations.
