  Causes of Error M7500
  
  
  Movement Type Restrictions: The movement type you are trying to use may not be compatible with the reservation you are attempting to create. Each movement type in SAP has specific rules and restrictions regarding how it can be used.
  
  
  Reservation Status: The reservation may already be fully processed or canceled, making it impossible to create a new reservation against it.
  
  
  Material Status: The material for which you are trying to create a reservation may have a status that prevents reservations, such as being blocked or marked for deletion.
  
  
  Plant or Storage Location Issues: The plant or storage location associated with the material may not be set up correctly, or there may be no stock available in the specified location.
  
  
  Document Type Configuration: The document type used for the reservation may not be configured correctly in the system.
