  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to process a handling unit that has already been assigned to an order or has been processed in a way that does not allow it to be reused. This can happen in various scenarios, such as:

  Check for Open Transactions:
  
  Ensure that there are no open transactions that are still processing the handling unit. If there are, you may need to complete or cancel those transactions.
