This error typically occurs in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when you attempt to perform an action that is not allowed because there is an existing open putaway task associated with the specified storage bin.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the following scenarios:
  
  Open Putaway Task: There is an active putaway warehouse task that has not been completed for the specified storage bin. This means that the system is still expecting items to be put away into that bin.
  System Constraints: The system prevents certain actions (like moving or deleting the storage bin) while there are open tasks to ensure inventory integrity and proper warehouse operations.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Open Warehouse Tasks:

  If the task is no longer needed, you can cancel it. This can usually be done through the warehouse task management screen.
  
  
  
  Review Task Status:
  
  Ensure that the status of the warehouse task is updated correctly. Sometimes, tasks may remain open due to system errors or manual interruptions.
  
  
  
  Check for System Locks:
