  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should follow these steps:

  Complete or Delete Conflicting Transactions:
  
  If there are active LA or LD transactions, you will need to either complete them (if they are pending) or delete them (if they are no longer needed) before you can proceed with the LC transaction.
  Ensure that any necessary approvals or workflows are completed for the existing transactions before attempting to delete or modify them.
  
  
  
  Retry the Transaction:
  
  Once you have resolved the conflicting transactions, attempt to process the LC transaction again.
