  The SAP error message G00074 indicates that certain consumption groups were not processed because a specific task is blocked. This error typically arises in the context of production planning or materials management, where tasks related to consumption groups (such as production orders, purchase orders, or stock movements) are unable to proceed due to a blocking condition.
  Cause:
  
  
  Blocked Task: The specific task mentioned in the error message is blocked, which could be due to various reasons such as:
  
  A previous process that has not been completed.

  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to process the task.

  Data Integrity Issues: Inconsistent or incomplete data in the relevant tables can lead to blocking conditions.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Task Status: Investigate the status of the task that is blocked. You can use transaction codes like SM12 (to check for locks) or SM21 (to check system logs) to identify any locks or issues.
