Dear Ogutu,
the F5288 error message (System lock error: inform system Administrator)                  
appears to be caused by a table overflow as it takes place with a very                    
large document ie. xxxx line items. As all the items must be locked when                  
transaction FBRA is performed, there is not enough space in the lock                      
table.                                                                               
Please extend the profile-parameter "enque/table_size", as per note                       
13907, 487347 which I have attached, in order to overcome this problem.                   
You have to change a parameter.                                                                               
Then please remember to restart the server after extend the                               
profile-parameter "enque/table_size", as per note note 13907.                                                                               
If you already did it and nothing changed, please increase the parameter                  
again.                                                                               
Please be aware that You have also to implement the solution described                    
in note 487347. There is not only correction code, there is also some                     
steps to do in order to solve the incident (manual changes have to be                     
done in SE93):                                                                               
1.  Implement the corrections. The corrections are not contained in the                  
     SAP Standard System. See Note 170183.                                                                               
2.  Use Transaction SE93 to create the parameter transaction FBRA_LOAC                   
     referring to transaction FBRA. In addition to the descriptive text                   
     'Reset Cleared Items with Account Block', you have to enter the                      
     value FBRA in the 'Transaction' field.                                                                               
3.  In problematic cases, use transaction FBRA_LOAC to reset cleared                     
     items. The transaction is not designed to replace the existing                       
     transaction FBRA. The transaction only provides the option to reset                  
     cleared items in case of an overflow of the lock table.         
I hope this helps.
