This can occur in the context of SAP S/4HANA Cloud or other SAP applications where organizational structures are being defined or modified.
  Cause:
  
  Ongoing Job: The primary cause of this error is that a job related to organization scoping is still executing. This could be due to a long-running process or a job that has not completed successfully.
  Job Locking: If the job is taking longer than expected, it may lock the scoping process, preventing further actions until it completes.
  System Performance: High system load or performance issues can also lead to jobs taking longer to complete.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Job Status:
  
  Go to transaction code SM37 in the SAP GUI.
  Check for any jobs related to organization scoping that are currently running. Look for jobs with the name or description that includes "scoping" or similar terms.

  Cancel Job (if necessary):
  
  If you determine that the job is stuck or not progressing, you may need to cancel it. This can be done from the SM37 transaction by selecting the job and choosing the option to cancel it.
  Be cautious when canceling jobs, as this may lead to incomplete processes or data inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Retry the Scoping Process:
