• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MN045 - Status & not allowed here (manual entry not permitted) ?

  The SAP error message MN045 ("Status & not allowed here (manual entry not permitted)") typically occurs in the context of inventory management or material movements when a user attempts to manually enter data in a field or transaction that is not permitted due to the current status of the material or document.
  Cause:
  
  Material Status: The material may have a status that restricts manual entry. For example, if the material is marked as "blocked" or "restricted," certain transactions may not allow manual input.
  Document Status: The document (like a purchase order, delivery, or production order) may be in a status that does not allow changes. For instance, if the document is already completed or has been posted, manual changes may be restricted.
  Configuration Settings: The system configuration may have been set up to prevent manual entries in certain scenarios to maintain data integrity.
  User Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform manual entries in the specific transaction or field.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Material Status: Review the status of the material in question. If it is blocked or restricted, you may need to change its status or consult with a materials management specialist to understand the implications of doing so.
  Review Document Status: Check the status of the document you are trying to edit. If it is completed or in a status that does not allow changes, you may need to reverse or cancel the document before making manual entries.
