MMPUR_SPROC043 - Details

• The SAP error message MMPUR_SPROC043 typically occurs when you are trying to perform a goods receipt (GR) for items classified as services. In SAP, services are treated differently than goods, and a goods receipt is not applicable for service items.
  
  Cause:
  The error arises because:
  
  You are attempting to post a goods receipt for a service item, which is not allowed in SAP.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should follow these steps:
