• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MEPO148 - &1 is a consumable material and is not allowed with SIT processes ?

  The SAP error message MEPO148 indicates that a consumable material is being used in a scenario where it is not allowed with the Stock in Transit (SIT) processes. This typically occurs in the context of procurement and inventory management, particularly when dealing with materials that are classified as consumables.
  
  Cause:
  
  Material Type: The material in question is classified as a consumable (e.g., non-stock material) in the SAP system. Consumables are typically materials that are not intended to be stored in inventory but are used directly in production or services.
  SIT Process Restrictions: The Stock in Transit process is designed for materials that are managed in stock and can be tracked through inventory. Since consumables do not fit this model, the system restricts their use in SIT processes.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Material Type: Verify the material type of the item you are trying to use. If it is indeed a consumable, consider whether it should be changed
