  The SAP error message FARR_CONTRACT_UI102 indicates that a proposal is locked by another user. This typically occurs in the context of contract management or financial agreements within the SAP system, particularly in the SAP Flexible Real Estate Management (RE-FX) module or similar areas.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: The most common cause of this error is that another user is currently editing or has locked the proposal you are trying to access. SAP uses locking mechanisms to prevent data inconsistencies that can arise from multiple users trying to modify the same data simultaneously.
  Session Timeout: Sometimes, if a user has an open session that times out, the lock may not be released immediately, causing other users to encounter this error.
  Technical Issues: There may be technical issues or bugs in the system that are causing the locking mechanism to behave unexpectedly.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: The simplest solution is to wait for the other user to finish their work and release the lock. You can try accessing the proposal again after some time.
  Check Lock Entries: You can check the lock entries in the system using transaction code SM12. This will show you which user has locked the proposal. If you have the necessary authorizations, you can delete the lock entry, but this should be done with caution as it may lead to data inconsistencies.
  Communicate with the User: If you identify the user who has locked the proposal, you can communicate with them to see if they can release the lock or if they are done with their changes.
  Session Management: Ensure that your sessions are managed properly. If you have multiple sessions open, consider closing unnecessary ones to avoid confusion.
  Technical Support: If the issue persists and you suspect it may be a technical problem, contact your SAP support team or system administrator for further assistance. They may need to investigate the locking mechanism or check for any system errors.
  
  Related Information:
