This error typically occurs in the context of personnel administration or employee self-service scenarios where changes to employee data are being processed.
  Cause:
  
  
  Conflicting Change Requests: The error arises when there is already a pending or existing change request for the same date you are trying to submit. This could be due to:
  
  Another user has submitted a change request for the same employee on the same date.

  Communicate with Other Users: If multiple users are working on the same employee data, ensure that there is clear communication to avoid overlapping requests.
