This error indicates that there is an attempt to process a limit transfer that is already being processed or has not been completed.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Processing: The error often arises when multiple users or processes attempt to process the same limit transfer simultaneously.
  Incomplete Previous Process: If a previous limit transfer was not completed or was interrupted, the system may still consider it as being in process.
  Session Issues: Sometimes, if a user has multiple sessions open, they might inadvertently try to process the same limit transfer in different sessions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Active Processes: Verify if the limit transfer number mentioned in the error message is currently being processed by another user or session. You can do this by checking the transaction logs or using transaction codes like SM50 (to view active processes) or SM66 (to view processes across the system).
  
  
  Complete or Cancel Previous Transfers: If a limit transfer is stuck or incomplete, you may need to complete or cancel it. This can often be done through the relevant transaction for limit management.
  
  
  Log Out and Log Back In: If you suspect that the issue is due to session problems, logging out of SAP and logging back in can sometimes resolve the issue.
  
  
  Check for Locks: Use transaction code SM12 to check for any locks on the limit transfer number. If there are locks that should not be there, you may need to delete them (ensure you have the necessary authorizations).
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to limit management for any specific guidance or known issues related to this error.
