This error typically arises in the SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC) or SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) environments when a certain parameter is not expected to be set or is incorrectly configured.
  Cause:
  The error message suggests that the input parameter PYP_PROC_INST (which usually refers to a process instance in planning) is being maintained or set when it should not be. This can happen due to:
