'User WF-BATCH already processing Purchasing doc. i'

[Fred Lunaspa]

Mike,
 
All invoices for which the error occurred are related to a PO that is also
processed by another workflow! Thus I quess you've solved my problem. I'll
make it a temporary error and try it again.
 
Thank you very much, also for reacting so quickly!
 
Greetings,
 
Fred
