  The SAP error message FXM_CORE018 indicates that a balance sheet exposure hedge request table is locked by a user or process. This typically occurs in the context of financial transactions or hedge accounting within the SAP system, particularly in the Financial Supply Chain Management (FSCM) or Treasury modules.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user or process is currently accessing or modifying the hedge request table, leading to a lock.
  Long-Running Transactions: A transaction that takes a long time to complete may hold the lock longer than expected.
  System Errors: Sometimes, system errors or crashes can leave locks in place that are not released properly.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration in the system can lead to unexpected locking behavior.

  Check for Long-Running Transactions:
