  The SAP error message HRPIQ00AUDFORMS131 indicates that there is an issue with the selection of a rule container in the context of the SAP HR (Human Resources) module, specifically related to the Infotype (IT) forms or rules used in the system. The message states that the selection is not allowed because the specified rule container (&1) is being used elsewhere.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when:
  
  Rule Container Usage: The rule container you are trying to select is already in use by another process or configuration. This can happen if the same rule is being referenced in multiple places, and the system does not allow modifications or selections that could lead to conflicts.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the HR forms or rules setup, leading to the system preventing changes to ensure data integrity.
  Locking Mechanism: The rule container might be locked due to ongoing processes or transactions that are using it.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Usage: Identify where the rule container (&1) is being used. You can do this by reviewing the configurations in the relevant Infotypes or forms. Ensure that the rule is not being referenced in multiple places that could cause a conflict.
  
  
  Release Locks: If the rule container is locked, check if there are any ongoing processes that are using it. You may need to wait for those processes to complete or, if appropriate, release the lock.
  
  
  Modify Configuration: If you need to change the rule container, consider creating a new rule or modifying the existing one in a way that does not conflict with its current usage.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to HR forms and rules to ensure that you are following the correct procedures for modifying rule containers.
  
  
  Contact Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error.
