• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CP801 - Markings for material & plant & are in process. ?

  The SAP error message CP801 typically indicates that there are existing markings for a material and plant combination that are currently in process. This can occur in various scenarios, particularly in production planning and control, where markings are used to track specific batches or materials.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Markings: The error arises when there are already active markings for the specified material and plant. These markings may be related to production orders, batch management, or inventory management.
  In-Process Status: The markings are in a status that prevents further processing, such as being locked or in use by another transaction.

  Release or Complete Markings:

  Consult with Team:
