This error typically arises in the context of the Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) module when a user attempts to start a new approval process for a supplier registration that is already in progress.

  Check Approval Status:

  Look for any existing approval requests that are still pending or in progress.
  
  
  
  Contact the Approver: 
  
  If you find that an approval request is already in progress, contact the user or approver handling that request to get an update on its status.
