  The SAP error message MPE_EXEC_SFO098, which states "You have to assemble from unrestricted-use stock," typically occurs in the context of production or assembly processes within SAP. This message indicates that the system requires components from unrestricted stock to fulfill a production order or assembly process, but the necessary components are not available in the unrestricted stock.
  Cause:
  
  Stock Availability: The required components for the assembly or production order are not available in unrestricted stock. They may be in restricted stock, blocked stock, or not available at all.
  Stock Type Configuration: The system is configured to only allow assembly from unrestricted stock, which may not be the case for the components you are trying to use.
  Inventory Management Issues: There may be discrepancies in inventory records, leading to the system not recognizing available stock.
  Production Order Settings: The production order may have specific requirements that necessitate the use of unrestricted stock.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Stock Levels: Verify the stock levels of the required components. You can do this using transaction codes like MMBE (Stock Overview) to see the stock status of the materials.
  Transfer Stock: If the components are available in restricted or blocked stock, consider transferring them to unrestricted stock using appropriate movement types (e.g., 321 for transferring from unrestricted to unrestricted).
  Adjust Production Order: If the production order can be modified, check if it can be adjusted to allow the use of stock from other categories, if applicable.
  Inventory Reconciliation: Conduct an inventory reconciliation to ensure that the stock levels in the system match the physical stock.
  Consult with Inventory Management: If you are unsure about stock classifications or how to proceed, consult with your inventory management or materials management team for guidance.
