• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ARUN_MAIN028 - Goods issue is not possible as &1, &2, &3 are already assigned ?

  The SAP error message ARUN_MAIN028 indicates that a goods issue cannot be processed because the specified items (represented by placeholders &1, &2, &3) are already assigned to another process or document. This typically occurs in scenarios involving inventory management, such as when trying to issue goods from stock that is already allocated to a sales order, production order, or another transaction.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Assignments: The items you are trying to issue are already assigned to another document (e.g., a sales order, production order, or transfer order).
  Stock Type Restrictions: The stock type (e.g., blocked stock, quality inspection stock) may prevent the goods issue.
  Document Status: The document you are trying to process may be in a status that does not allow for goods issues.
  Inventory Management Settings: Configuration settings in inventory management may restrict the movement of certain items.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Assignments: Review the assignments of the items in question. You can use transaction codes like MB52 (List Warehouse Stocks on Hand) or MB5T (Stock in Transit) to see where the items are currently allocated.
  Release or Unassign: If the items are assigned to another document, you may need to release or unassign them from that document if possible.
  Change Stock Type: If the stock is in a restricted type (like blocked or quality inspection), you may need to transfer it to unrestricted stock before issuing.
  Review Document Status: Ensure that the document you are trying to process is in a status that allows for goods issues.
  Consult Configuration: If the issue persists, consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings related to inventory management and goods movements.
  
  Related Information:
