The error suggests that there is an issue with the excise duty valuation for the specified batch of material.
  Cause:
  
  Excise Duty Configuration: The configuration for excise duty in the system may not be set up correctly, leading to issues with the valuation of the material.
  Batch Management: The batch may be blocked due to pending excise duty revaluation, which can happen if there are changes in the excise duty rates or if the batch has not been properly processed.
  Material Master Data: The material master data may not be correctly maintained, particularly in relation to excise duty settings.
