  The SAP error message FTR_TEX1737 indicates that some objects are locked, preventing the execution of a certain transaction or process. This is commonly encountered in the context of financial transactions, particularly in the area of Treasury and Risk Management (TRM) or similar modules.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Locked Objects: The objects (such as documents, transactions, or records) that you are trying to access or modify are currently locked by another user or process. This can happen if another user is editing the same object or if a previous transaction did not complete successfully.
  Inconsistent State: Sometimes, if a transaction is interrupted or not completed properly, it can leave objects in a locked state.
  Authorization Issues: In some cases, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to unlock the objects.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Locked Objects:
  
  Use transaction code SM12 to view the list of locked entries. You can filter by user or object type to find the specific locks that are causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Unlock Objects:
  
  If you have the necessary authorizations, you can unlock the objects directly from the SM12 transaction. Select the locked entries and choose the option to delete the locks.
  If you do not have the necessary permissions, you may need to contact your SAP administrator or the user who has locked the objects to unlock them.
  
  
  
  Check for Active Sessions:
  
  Ensure that there are no active sessions or transactions that are holding locks on the objects. If a user is currently working on the object, you may need to wait until they finish.
  
  
  
  Retry the Transaction:
  
  After unlocking the objects, retry the transaction that generated the error.
  
  
  
  Review Authorizations:
  
  If you frequently encounter this issue, review your user authorizations to ensure you have the necessary permissions to perform the required actions.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
