  The SAP error message /SAPCEM/DISPO013 indicates that a requisition note is currently locked by another user. This typically occurs in scenarios where multiple users are trying to access or modify the same requisition note simultaneously, leading to a lock situation to prevent data inconsistencies.
  Cause:

  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: The simplest solution is to wait for the other user to finish their work and then try accessing the requisition again.
  Identify the Locking User: If you have the necessary permissions, you can use transaction code SM12 to view and manage locks. This will allow you to see which user is holding the lock.
  Release the Lock: If the locking user is not actively using the requisition (e.g., they have logged out or are away), you can manually release the lock from SM12. However, be cautious with this approach, as it may lead to data inconsistencies if the other user is still working on it.
  Check for Background Jobs: Sometimes, background jobs may hold locks. Check if any jobs are running that might be causing the lock.
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists and you cannot identify the cause, it may be necessary to contact SAP support for further assistance.
