  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CAPREV052 indicates that a resource in the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module is locked by a user. This typically occurs when a user is currently working on or has opened a resource in a simulation version, preventing other users from accessing or modifying it.
  Cause:
  
  User Lock: The resource is currently being edited or viewed by another user, which locks it for other users.
  Session Timeout: A user may have left a session open, causing the resource to remain locked even if they are no longer actively using it.

  Solution:
  
  Identify the User: Check which user has locked the resource. The error message provides the user ID (&3) that has the lock.
  Contact the User: If possible, contact the user to ask them to release the lock by closing their session or saving and exiting the resource.
  Unlock the Resource: If the user is unavailable or the session is no longer active, a system administrator can unlock the resource using transaction code SM12 (for lock entries) or SM21 (for system logs) to identify and remove the lock.
  Check for Background Jobs: Sometimes, background jobs may hold locks. Ensure that no background processes are running that could be causing the lock.
  Review System Settings: If this issue occurs frequently, review the system settings and user access to ensure that locks are being managed appropriately.
