System Response

The position locks generated by the transaction are changed so that the
system only generates a warning as opposed to an error message if the
forward sale exceeds the available position.
When the transaction is resaved, the locks are reset so that an error
message will be generated again. You may then have to deactivate the
locks once more.
If you want to return the locks to their original state, you need to
call "Change Transaction" and save the transaction without deactivating
the locks.

How to fix this error?

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
