This error typically occurs in the context of SAP's Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) or similar modules where checks or validations are performed.
  Cause:
  
  Ongoing Check Process: The most common cause of this error is that a previous check run is still in progress. This could be due to long-running processes or a system hang.

  Solution:
  
  Check Running Processes: Use transaction codes like SM50 or SM66 to check for any running processes in the system. Look for any long-running jobs that might be related to the check run.
