  The SAP error message 9J258 ("No entry allowed because this is a withdrawal") typically occurs in the context of inventory management or material movements within the SAP system. This error indicates that the system is preventing a transaction because it is trying to process a withdrawal (such as a goods issue) in a manner that is not allowed based on the current configuration or status of the inventory.
  Causes:
  
  Incorrect Movement Type: The movement type used for the transaction may not be appropriate for the action being taken. For example, if you are trying to perform a goods issue but the system expects a goods receipt.
  Stock Type Restrictions: The stock type (e.g., unrestricted, blocked, quality inspection) may not allow for withdrawals. For instance, if the stock is in a blocked status, it cannot be withdrawn.
  Inventory Management Settings: There may be specific settings in the inventory management configuration that restrict certain types of withdrawals.
  Document Status: The document you are trying to process may be in a status that does not allow for withdrawals, such as being locked or already processed.

  Configuration Review: Consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings related to inventory management and ensure that they allow for the intended withdrawals.
  Document Status Check: Ensure that the document you are trying to process is not locked or in a status that prevents withdrawals. You may need to unlock or change the status of the document.
