1886136 - Cannot Post Goods and Services Receipt. Error: "Posting not possible; referenced purchase order XYZ in approval"

You cannot post existing Goods and Services Receipt (GSR) due to an error: Posting not possible; referenced purchase order XYZ in approval.
As well, you cannot create a new Goods and Services Receipt for a Purchase Order. The Purchase Order is not listed in the work center Goods and Services Receipts, in the view Purchase Orders to Be Delivered: Outstanding Purchase Orders.

Also you cannot perform any Time Recording via the Time Sheet. Reason is that a time confirmation creates a GSR, which in turn is not allowed.
