  Cause:
  The error occurs when the system detects multiple approved purchase requisitions that have the same purchasing group. This can happen due to:
  
  Duplicate PRs: Multiple purchase requisitions created for the same material or service with the same purchasing group.

  Business Rules: Organizational policies may dictate that only one approved PR per purchasing group is allowed for certain scenarios.

  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review Approved PRs: Check the list of approved purchase requisitions to identify duplicates. You can use transaction codes like ME5A (List of Purchase Requisitions) to view the details.

  Change Purchasing Group: If appropriate, you can change the purchasing group for one of the PRs to ensure that they do not conflict. This can be done in the PR document.
  
  
  Consult Configuration: If the issue persists, consult with your SAP MM configuration team to review the settings related to purchasing groups and PR processing. They may need to adjust the configuration to allow for multiple PRs under certain conditions.
