  The SAP error message MSR_SD032 indicates that a user is not authorized to create shipments because all items in the shipment are blocked for approval. This typically occurs in the context of the SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) module, where certain items may require approval before they can be processed further.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the necessary authorizations to create shipments for the items in question. This could be due to missing roles or permissions in the user's profile.
  Approval Workflow: The items may be subject to an approval workflow that has not been completed. This could be due to business rules set up in the system that require certain conditions to be met before shipment creation is allowed.
  Item Status: The items may have a status that prevents them from being processed, such as being blocked for various reasons (e.g., credit holds, delivery blocks, etc.).
  
  Solution:

  Check Item Status:
