UMG403 - Details

• The SAP error message UMG403, which states "You need to have an exclusive lock to execute the report," typically occurs when a user attempts to execute a report that requires an exclusive lock on a particular object or resource, but that lock is not available. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when multiple users are trying to access the same report or when a previous session has not released the lock.
  Causes:
  
  Concurrent Access: Another user or process is currently executing the same report, which requires an exclusive lock.
  Unreleased Locks: A previous execution of the report did not release the lock properly, possibly due to an error or an abrupt termination.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured in a way that restricts access to certain reports or transactions.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Wait and Retry: If another user is executing the report, wait for them to finish and then try running the report again.
