  The SAP error message EEWMHIK150 indicates that parallel processing is not allowed in the current context and can only be executed in background processing. This error typically arises in scenarios where a transaction or process is attempting to execute multiple tasks simultaneously, but the system is configured to restrict this behavior in the foreground.

  Review Documentation: Check the documentation for the specific transaction or program to understand its requirements regarding processing mode.
  
  
  Consult with Basis Team: If you are unsure about the configuration or if the error persists, consult with your SAP Basis team. They can provide insights into system settings and help troubleshoot further.
