This typically occurs when you are trying to create or update a version of an object that already has a different version existing in the Transition DB.
  Cause:
  
  Version Conflict: The primary cause of this error is that the system has detected an existing version of the object you are trying to create or modify. This can happen if:

  Coordinate with Other Users:
