  Concurrent Processing: Multiple users or processes may be trying to assign the same storage process step simultaneously.
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the database or in the way tasks are being generated and processed.

  Solutions:
  
  Check for Concurrent Tasks: Ensure that no other processes are trying to assign the same putaway task at the same time. You may need to coordinate with other users or processes.

  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings for the warehouse processes to ensure they are set up correctly. This includes checking the settings for storage process steps and task types.
  System Logs: Check the system logs for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about the issue.
