• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RECD098 - Function not possible since selection includes locked conditions ?

  The SAP error message RECD098, which states "Function not possible since selection includes locked conditions," typically occurs in the context of pricing or condition records in SAP. This error indicates that the system is unable to process a request because the selection criteria include conditions that are currently locked, preventing any changes or updates.
  Cause:
  
  
  Locked Conditions: The most common cause of this error is that the condition records you are trying to access or modify are locked. This can happen if:
  
  Another user is currently editing the same condition records.
  The condition records are locked due to a transaction that has not been completed.
  The records are in a status that does not allow changes (e.g., they are marked for deletion or are in a transport request).
  
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to modify the locked conditions.
  
  
  System Configuration: Certain configurations in the pricing procedure or condition types may lead to conditions being locked under specific circumstances.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check for Locks: 
  
  Use transaction code SM12 to check for any locks on the condition records. You can look for locks associated with your user ID or the relevant condition tables.
  If you find locks that are no longer needed, you can delete them (if you have the necessary authorizations).
  
  
  
  Wait for Release: If another user is editing the condition records, you may need to wait until they finish their work and release the lock.
  
  
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to modify the condition records. If not, contact your SAP security administrator.
  
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration of the pricing procedure and condition types to ensure that there are no settings that would cause conditions to be locked unnecessarily.
  
  
  Transaction Completion: Ensure that any ongoing transactions that might be locking the conditions are completed. This may involve checking with other users or reviewing transaction logs.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If the issue persists, consult SAP documentation or reach out to SAP support for further assistance, especially if it seems to be a system-wide issue.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as:
  
  SM12: To view and manage locks.
  VK11/VK12: To create or change condition records.
  VK31: To maintain condition records in bulk.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  
  
  User Forums: Consider visiting SAP community forums or user groups where similar issues may have been discussed, and solutions shared.
