<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>I think that your user is
trying to change a document that may have been submitted by another? Can you
check to see what other workitems may have processed/been in process for this
contract? This message that is being received is a standard SRM error message;
hate to say it, but probably the user who is trying to publish the document
can just blow by the message, publish the document, and then either a new
workflow will be created, or the old one will continue on it’s way.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

You did not mention what the object is. In SRM, for a Shopping Cart, the<br>
workflow instance is created when the SC is held. The same instance<br>
starts off when the SC is 'Saved'. The process may be the same for other<br>
object types as well. It is up to the creator of the object to decide<br>
when to save the object and start the workflow process. You may want to<br>
find from the creator whether the object was intentionally held.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Ramki.<o:p></o:p></p>
