• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MU124 - The use of logistical materials is not enabled. ?

  The SAP error message MU124, which states "The use of logistical materials is not enabled," typically occurs when you attempt to perform an operation involving logistical materials (such as goods movements, inventory management, or production planning) but the system settings do not allow for the use of those materials in a logistical context.
  Cause:
  
  Material Type Configuration: The material type assigned to the material may not be configured to be used in logistical processes. This can happen if the material type is set up for non-logistical purposes.
  Plant Settings: The plant settings may not allow for logistical operations for certain materials.
  Material Status: The material may have a status that restricts its use in logistical processes (e.g., blocked for procurement or sales).
  User Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform operations on logistical materials.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Type:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) and check the material type.
  Ensure that the material type is configured for logistical use. You may need to consult with your SAP configuration team to verify this.
  
  
  
  Review Plant Settings:
  
  Check the plant settings in the configuration (transaction code SPRO) to ensure that logistical operations are enabled for the relevant materials.
  
  
  
  Material Status:
  
  Verify the status of the material in the material master. If the material is blocked or has restrictions, you may need to change its status (transaction code MM02).
  
  
  
  User Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the required operations. This may involve checking roles and authorizations in the user profile.
