  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to record results for an inspection lot that is already undergoing a long-term inspection.

  Wait for Completion: If the long-term inspection is valid and should continue, you may need to wait until it is completed before you can record results for the inspection lot.
  
  
  Consult with Quality Management Team: If you are unsure about the status or the next steps, consult with your quality management team or the person responsible for quality assurance in your organization. They may provide guidance on how to proceed based on your company's policies.
