  Complete or Cancel PI: If the PI document is still open and you do not need it, consider completing or canceling the PI process. This will release the lock on the inventory and allow you to proceed with the desired procedure.
  
  
  Review Procedure Configuration: Check the configuration of the procedures in your EWM settings to ensure that they are set up correctly and do not conflict with PI processes.
