  The SAP error message CMCB_MSG608 indicates that you are trying to insert or select a customer that is blocked in the system. This typically occurs in the context of customer master data management, where certain customers may be marked as blocked due to various reasons, such as credit issues, compliance concerns, or other business rules.

  Unblock Customer: If the customer should not be blocked, you can change the status to unblocked. This typically requires appropriate authorization. You can do this through the transaction code XD02 (Change Customer) or VD02 (Change Customer - Sales Area).
  Consult with Relevant Departments: If you are unsure why the customer is blocked, consult with the finance or compliance department to understand the reason for the block and whether it can be lifted.
