  The condition records are part of a pricing procedure that is currently locked or in use by another transaction.
  The records may be set to a status that prevents changes (e.g., due to a release process).

  System Configuration: Certain configurations in the pricing procedure or condition maintenance settings may lead to records being blocked.
