This typically occurs in the context of SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC) or SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) when multiple users are trying to access or modify the same data structure simultaneously.
  Cause:

  Identify the Locking User: Check who is currently locking the hierarchy. This can often be done through system administration tools or transaction codes that show active users and their locks.
  Contact the Locking User: If possible, communicate with the user who has the lock to see if they can release it or if they are done with their changes.
