  Cause
  This error occurs when you try to perform a recall operation on a document or object that has already been recalled previously. In SAP, a "recall" typically means reversing or undoing a previous action (such as a workflow step, a document posting, or a status change). The system prevents multiple recalls on the same object to maintain data consistency and integrity.
  In other words, the system detects that the recall identifier or action you are trying to apply has already been applied to the specified object, so it does not allow it again.
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  During workflow processing when trying to recall a workflow step that has already been recalled.
  When attempting to reverse or undo a document or transaction that has already been reversed.
  In warranty or service management scenarios
