  The SAP error message CM_EHFND_CRRF224 indicates that a supplier has been blocked for a specific raw material. This error typically arises in the context of procurement and supply chain management within SAP, particularly when trying to create or process a purchase order or a similar transaction involving the supplier and the raw material in question.
  Cause:
  
  Supplier Blocking: The supplier has been marked as blocked in the system for the specific raw material. This could be due to various reasons such as quality issues, compliance problems, or other procurement-related concerns.
  Material-Specific Blocking: The blocking may be specific to the raw material, meaning that while the supplier may be active for other materials, they are not allowed to supply this particular one.
  Configuration Settings: There may be configuration settings in the system that automatically block suppliers based on certain criteria (e.g., quality ratings, delivery performance).
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Supplier Status: Verify the status of the supplier in the system. You can do this by navigating to the supplier master data and checking if the supplier is indeed blocked for the specific raw material.
  Unblock the Supplier: If the blocking is no longer valid, you can unblock the supplier for the raw material. This typically involves:
  
  Accessing the supplier master data (transaction code MK02 for changing vendor data).
  Navigating to the relevant views and removing the block for the specific raw material.
  
  
  Review Blocking Reasons: Investigate the reasons for the block. If it was due to quality issues or other compliance matters, ensure that those issues have been resolved before unblocking the supplier.
  Consult with Procurement Team: If you are unsure about the implications of unblocking the supplier, consult with your procurement or supply chain team to ensure that it aligns with company policies and supplier management strategies.
  Check Configuration: If the blocking seems to be a result of system configuration, review the settings in the relevant customizing transactions (e.g., SPRO) to understand the criteria for supplier blocking.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MK02 (Change Vendor), MK03 (Display Vendor), and ME21N (Create Purchase Order) to navigate supplier and procurement data.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for detailed information on supplier management and procurement processes.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to supplier data, as this may be restricted based on user roles in your organization.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or refer to SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
