  Check Existing Payment Proposals: Review the existing payment proposals to see if the document is already included. You can do this by checking the payment proposal logs or using transaction codes like F110 (Automatic Payment Transactions).
  Remove from Previous Proposal: If the document is indeed included in a previous proposal, you may need to remove it from that proposal if it hasn't been processed yet. This can be done by adjusting the payment proposal or using the appropriate transaction to modify it.
  Create a New Payment Proposal: If the document is locked in a payment proposal that is already processed, you may need to wait until that proposal is completed and then create a new payment proposal.
  Review Payment Proposal Settings: Ensure that the selection criteria for the payment proposal are set correctly to avoid including documents that should not be processed again.
  Consult with SAP Support: If the issue persists, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or refer to SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error.
