What is Lock Object?

[Former Member]

Please check this from documentation:

Lock object name

A lock object is a virtual link of several SAP tables which is used to synchronize simultaneous access by two users to the same set of data ( SAP lock concept).

Locks are requested and released in the programming of online transactions by calling certain function modules which are automatically generated from the definition of the lock objects. These lock objects must be explicitly created in the ABAP Dictionary.

To set locks, you must perform the following steps:

1. You must define a lock object in the ABAP Dictionary. The name of the lock object should begin with E.

2. The function modules for requesting and releasing locks which are created automatically when the lock object is activated must be linked to the programming of the relevant online transactions

The R/3 System synchronizes simultaneous access of several users to the same data records with a lock mechanism. When interactive transactions are programmed, locks are set and released by calling function modules. These function modules are automatically generated from the definition of lock objects in the ABAP Dictionary.

The tables in which data records should be locked with a lock request are defined in a lock object together with their key fields. When tables are selected, one table (the primary table) is first selected. Further tables (secondary tables) can also be added using foreign key relationships.
