STEPS
-----------------------
The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:
1. Create an RFQ from two requisitions (created from 2 non catalog requistions) for two suppliers A and B.
2. Ensure that "Staggered Awarding" is enabled.
3. Publish the RFQ and receive quotes and perform analysis.
4. Award line 1 for supplier A complete award and try to create the PO and the error is shown.
5. Go ahead and create an award for the 2nd line for Supplier A and Supplier B and create a PO.
6. This time the PO gets generated for both the awards.
Complete award for Line 2 > PO is created for Award Cycle 1 and Award Cycle 2.
