  Cause:
  
  
  Vendor Blocked Status: The vendor in question has been marked as blocked in the vendor master data. This could be due to various reasons, such as:
  
  Non-compliance with contractual obligations.
  Issues with previous transactions.
  Administrative decisions to prevent further transactions with the vendor.
  
  
  
  Invoice Status: The invoice you are trying to edit may also be in a status that does not allow changes due to the vendor being blocked.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Vendor Status:
