What causes this issue?

You want to carry out a goods movement for storage location &V1& &V2&,
which is assigned to an SAP ME. However, a goods movement of this
category can only be initiated by SAP ME itself or is generally not
supported.
If the storage location is assigned to a SAP ME, only certain goods
movements affecting this storage location can be carried out in the ERP
system depending on the type of inventory management selected for the
storage location:
If the storage location is set up for inventory management using
allocating transfer postings, then only transfer postings to this s
torage location are possible, using
<DS:GLOS.3526C0D0AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>movement type</> 311, for
example. No other goods movements are possible.
If inventory management at this storage location takes place using goods
issue for production orders, then all postings to or from this storage
location can be executed in ERP, with the exception of the cancellation
for goods issue for production order (movement type 262).

System Response

The system terminates the posting.

How to fix this error?

Carry out the goods movement using the MES or choose another storage
location.
