  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/TSM314 Version '&1' locked by user '&2', initialization terminated typically occurs in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. This error indicates that a specific version of a planning object (like a planning book or data view) is currently locked by another user, preventing the current user from accessing or modifying it.
  Cause:
  
  User Lock: The version specified in the error message is locked by another user, which can happen if that user is currently working on it or has not released the lock after their session ended.
  Session Timeout: Sometimes, a user may have left a session open, and the system still recognizes that session as active, thus keeping the version locked.

  Release the Lock: If the locking user is not actively using the version, you can manually release the lock from transaction SM12. However, be cautious when doing this, as it may disrupt the work of the user who has the lock.
  Communicate with the User: If possible, contact the user who has the lock and ask them to release it if they are done with their work.
  Check for Background Jobs: Sometimes, background jobs may hold locks. Check if there are any running jobs that might be causing the lock.
  Session Management: Encourage users to log off properly after their work to avoid leaving locks in the system.
