  Correct Document Reference: Ensure that the document is correctly referencing an active lot. If the document is meant to reference a different lot, update the document accordingly.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team to understand the specific implications of the lot status and how it affects transactions.
