  The SAP error message RMSL224, which states "You cannot set the status 'In Process'," typically occurs in the context of SAP Retail or SAP S/4HANA when trying to change the status of a document or process that is not allowed to be set to "In Process." This can happen in various scenarios, such as when dealing with merchandise management, inventory management, or other related processes.
