The following describes how to remove the lock for a specific A/P payment proposal and, if applicable, unlock the record in the Job lock file at the same time. Note: The locked record in the Job lock file (SROJBN) has no connection to the selected proposal. The record lock prevents a new proposal from being created. There is no control in the system why the lock exists, e.g. that a new job is running or exists in the Job Queue or has ended abnormally. Therefore, you are only allowed to unlock the record if you have system administrator authority.
- Select the Work with A/P payment proposals, unlock menu item.
- You access Work with A/P payment proposals, Unlock. Complete the following fields:
- Proposal number
- Enter the number of the A/P payment proposal from which you want to remove the lock.
- Unlock
- Set to YES if you want to unlock the A/P payment proposal and unlock the record in the Job lock file and then click OK. Set to NO if you only want to unlock the A/P payment proposal and then click OK. Note: You are only allowed to unlock the record if you have System Administrator authority.
- You access the second Unlock panel where you confirm that you want to remove the lock for the selected proposal.
- Proposal number
- Displays the entered proposal number and a description.
- Unlock
- If you have System Administrator authority and the record should be unlocked in the Job lock file at the same time as the proposal is unlocked, then this field is set to YES.

Click OK to confirm. The proposal is now unlocked and, if applicable, also the record in the Job lock file. You can now continue working in the routine.
