  The SAP error message MIGO074 indicates that there is an issue with the combination of the action you are trying to perform in the MIGO (Goods Movement) transaction and the reference document you are using. This error typically arises when the action you are attempting is not permitted for the specified document type or status.
  Causes:
  
  Invalid Action-Document Combination: The action you are trying to perform (e.g., goods receipt, goods issue, transfer posting) is not allowed for the reference document type you are using.
  Document Status: The reference document may be in a status that does not allow the action (e.g., a purchase order that is already fully delivered).
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that restrict certain actions based on document types or statuses.
  Missing Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the action on the specified document.

  Review Document Status: Check the status of the reference document. If it is already completed or in a status that does not allow further actions, you will need to take appropriate steps (e.g., reversing a previous action) before proceeding.
  Consult Configuration: If you have access to configuration settings, review the settings related to goods movements and document types to ensure that the action is allowed.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the action. If not, contact your SAP security administrator to request the required permissions.
