  The SAP error message ME022 ("Supplier & blocked") typically indicates that the supplier you are trying to use in a purchasing document (like a purchase order) is blocked for purchasing activities. This can happen for various reasons, such as issues with the supplier's financial status, compliance concerns, or internal company policies.

  Purchasing Block: The supplier may have a specific purchasing block set in the vendor master data, which prevents any purchasing transactions from being processed.
