  Cause:
  The error arises when a replication process for a particular company code is already in progress. This can happen due to:

  System performance issues causing delays in the completion of the ongoing replication.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Ongoing Replication Jobs:
  
  Use transaction code SM37 to check for any active jobs related to the replication of the specified company code. Look for jobs that are currently running or have failed.
  
  
  
  Wait for Completion:
  
  If you find an ongoing job, you may need to wait for it to complete. Monitor the job status and ensure it finishes successfully.
