  The SAP error message MMPUR_CQTN005 indicates that a quotation (specifically, a purchasing quotation) could not be locked for processing. This typically occurs when multiple users or processes are trying to access or modify the same quotation simultaneously, leading to a conflict.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user or process is currently accessing the quotation, preventing your session from locking it.

  Solution:
  
  Check for Active Sessions: Verify if another user is currently editing the quotation. You can use transaction code SM12 to check for locks on the quotation.
  Wait and Retry: If another user is editing the quotation, wait for them to finish and then try again.
  Release Locks: If you find a lock that should not be there (e.g., from a session that has ended), you can manually delete the lock using transaction SM12, but be cautious as this can affect other users.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access and lock the quotation. You may need to contact your SAP security administrator if you suspect authorization issues.
