  Unblock the Object: If the object is blocked manually, you may need to unblock it. This can typically be done in the same transaction where you checked the status. Look for an option to unblock or change the status.
  
  
  Review Dunning Configuration: Check the dunning configuration settings in your SAP system to ensure that there are no rules or settings that are causing the object to be blocked. This can be done in the SPRO configuration settings under Financial Accounting.
