Hi Miranda,

When two users or two different apex code tries to update the same record, then salesforce throws an error “UNABLE_TO_LOCK_ROW unable to obtain exclusive access to this record”.

Using FOR UPDATE keyword helps to achieve a lock a client end to prevent this locking issues.
List<Account> accountList = [SELECT Id FROM Account FOR UPDATE];

in your code you use below line:-
  
String query = 'SELECT id,(SELECT Date_Invoice__c FROm Invoices__r WHERE Date_iNVOICE__C!=null AND Category_Invoice__c !=\'Monthly\' ORDER BY Date_Invoice__c ASC LIMIT 1),First_Invoice__c FROM Account LIMIT 2 FOR UPDATE';



Here is an article.

If this solution is usefull for you, Please mark as a Best Answer to help others.
