  The SAP error message MM_PUR_SES098 ("Posting to blocked stock is not supported") typically occurs when a user attempts to post goods movements (such as goods receipts or transfers) to stock that has been marked as blocked. Blocked stock is inventory that is not available for use due to various reasons, such as quality issues, pending inspections, or other restrictions.
  Cause:
  
  Blocked Stock Status: The stock in question has been marked as blocked in the system, which prevents any postings to it.
  Incorrect Movement Type: The movement type being used may not allow postings to blocked stock.
  Configuration Settings: The system configuration may restrict certain types of postings to blocked stock.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Stock Status: Verify the status of the stock in question. You can do this by using transaction codes like MMBE (Stock Overview) to see if the stock is indeed marked as blocked.
  Change Stock Status: If the stock is blocked due to quality issues or pending inspections, resolve those issues first. You may need to perform a quality inspection or release the stock from the blocked status using transaction QA32 or MB1B (depending on your process).
  Use Correct Movement Type: Ensure that you are using the correct movement type for the transaction you are trying to perform. Movement types that allow postings to blocked stock are typically restricted.
  Consult Configuration: If you believe the configuration settings are incorrect, consult with your SAP MM (Materials Management) consultant or system administrator to review the settings related to stock postings and movement types.
