This can happen during various processes, such as creating or modifying tickets, shipments, or other related transactions.
  Cause:

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Shipper Status: 
  
  Navigate to the relevant transaction or master data screen where the shipper is defined.

  Ensure that any underlying issues that caused the block are resolved before unblocking.
  
  
  
  Consult with Relevant Departments:
  
  If you do not have the authority to unblock the shipper, consult with your supervisor or the relevant department (e.g., finance, compliance) to understand why the shipper is blocked and to seek approval for unblocking.
