The error indicates that the parent product is locked, and as a result, its child products cannot be processed.
  Cause:
  
  
  Locked Parent Product: The parent product of the specified product is locked for planning. This could be due to various reasons, such as:

  The parent product is in a state that prevents it from being processed (e.g., it is in a different planning version).
  
  
  
  Dependency Relationships: The child products depend on the parent product for their planning data, and if the parent is locked, the system cannot update or process the children.

  Unlock the Parent Product: Check if the parent product is locked and unlock it if necessary. This can be done by:
  
  Identifying the user or process that has locked the parent product.
  Using transaction codes like /SAPAPO/LOC3 or /SAPAPO/SDP94 to check the status of the product and its locks.
  If a planning run is in progress, wait for it to complete.
  
  
  
  Check Planning Versions: Ensure that the planning version you are working with is correct and that the parent product is not locked in that version.
  
  
  Review Planning Settings: Review the planning settings and dependencies to ensure that the relationships between products are correctly defined and that there are no unnecessary locks.
