  The SAP error message SV362 indicates that a function group is locked by a user or process. This typically occurs when a developer or user is working on a function group and has not released the lock, preventing others from making changes or accessing that function group.
  Cause:
  
  Active Development: A developer is currently editing or has opened the function group in the ABAP Workbench (SE80 or SE37).
  Unreleased Locks: A previous session may have crashed or not properly released the lock on the function group.

  Solution:
  
  Identify the Lock: Use transaction code SM12 to check for locks. You can filter by the function group name or the user who is locking it.
  Release the Lock: If you have the necessary authorizations, you can manually delete the lock entry in SM12. Be cautious when doing this, as it may disrupt the work of the user who has the lock.
  Contact the User: If you identify a specific user who has the lock, reach out to them to see if they can release it themselves.
  Check for Transport Requests: If the function group is part of a transport request, ensure that the transport is completed or that the request is not causing the lock.
  Restart the Session: If the lock is due to a session that has crashed, restarting the SAP GUI or the application server may help.
  System Administrator: If the issue persists, consult with your SAP Basis team or system administrator for further investigation.
