  Reprocess if Necessary: If you need to take action on a document that has been cancelled or executed, you may need to create a new document or modify the existing one (if allowed) to reflect the current state of the transportation process.
  Adjust Processing Logic: If you are developing custom logic or using a specific transaction that is leading to this error, ensure that your logic accounts for the status of documents and handles them appropriately.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on the specific transaction or process you are working with.
