• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message L2124 - Movement type & not allowed for posting change (select again) ?

  The SAP error message L2124, which states "Movement type & not allowed for posting change (select again)," typically occurs when you attempt to perform a posting change using a movement type that is not configured to allow such operations. This error is common in inventory management and can arise in various scenarios, such as when trying to change the stock type or transfer stock between different storage locations.
  Cause:
  
  Movement Type Configuration: The movement type you are using is not set up to allow posting changes. Each movement type in SAP has specific settings that determine what types of transactions can be performed.
  Stock Type Restrictions: Certain movement types are restricted to specific stock types (e.g., unrestricted stock, blocked stock, etc.), and if you attempt to use a movement type that does not align with the stock type, this error can occur.
  User Authorization: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the action with the specified movement type.
  Transaction Context: The context in which the transaction is being executed may not support the movement type (e.g., trying to perform a posting change in a context that does not allow it).
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Movement Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the movement type configuration in SAP (Transaction code: OMJJ).
  Verify that the movement type you are using is configured to allow posting changes. You may need to adjust the settings or use a different movement type that is allowed for the operation you are trying to perform.
  
  
  
  Use the Correct Movement Type:
  
  Identify the appropriate movement type for the posting change you want to perform. Refer to the SAP documentation or consult with your SAP MM (Materials Management) consultant for guidance on which movement types are valid for your specific scenario.
  
  
  
  Review User Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user executing the transaction has the necessary authorizations to perform the posting change with the specified movement type. This may involve checking user roles and permissions in the SAP system.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP help documentation or knowledge base for specific details related to the movement type you are using and the allowed operations.
  
  
  
  Testing in a Sandbox Environment:
  
  If possible, test the posting change in a sandbox or development environment to ensure that the movement type works as expected before applying changes in the production environment.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
