• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IO235 - Change to batch status and material movement not allowed in same transac. ?

  The SAP error message IO235, which states "Change to batch status and material movement not allowed in same transaction," typically occurs when you are trying to perform two operations that are not allowed to be executed together in a single transaction. Specifically, this error arises when you attempt to change the status of a batch while simultaneously trying to perform a material movement (such as goods receipt, goods issue, or transfer posting).
  Cause:
  
  Batch Status Change: You are trying to change the status of a batch (e.g., from unrestricted to blocked) in the same transaction where you are also trying to move the material.
  Transaction Restrictions: SAP has restrictions in place to ensure data integrity and consistency. Changing the batch status and performing a material movement in the same transaction can lead to inconsistencies.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to separate the operations into two distinct transactions. Here’s how you can do that:
  
  
  Change Batch Status First:
  
  Execute the transaction to change the batch status first (e.g., using transaction code MSC2N for changing batch status).
  Ensure that the batch status is updated successfully.
  
  
  
  Perform Material Movement:
  
  After the batch status has been changed, proceed with the material movement transaction (e.g., using transaction codes like MIGO for goods movement).
  Ensure that the material movement is executed after the batch status change.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Batch Management: Understand how batch management works in SAP, including the different statuses a batch can have (e.g., unrestricted, blocked, in quality inspection).
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes:
  
  MSC2N: Change Batch
  MIGO: Goods Movement
  MB1A: Goods Issue
  MB1B: Transfer Posting
  
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on batch management and material movements.
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform both operations.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the IO235 error and successfully complete your batch status change and material movement operations.
