  The SAP error message /PLMI/GSS_I2B044 Source mapped to an inactive &1 with key &2 typically indicates that there is an issue with the mapping of a source to a target in the SAP system, specifically in the context of the SAP Logistics and Supply Chain Management (LSCM) or similar modules. The error suggests that the source you are trying to use is mapped to an inactive object, which means that the system cannot process the request because the source is not currently active.
  Cause:
  
  Inactive Object: The source (e.g., a material, vendor, or customer) is inactive in the system. This could be due to various reasons, such as the object being deactivated for business reasons or not being maintained properly.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings that are not correctly set up, leading to the mapping pointing to an inactive object.
  Data Consistency: There might be inconsistencies in the data, such as missing or incorrect entries in the relevant tables.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Activate the Object: Check the status of the object (e.g., material, vendor, etc.) that is referenced by the key &2. If it is inactive, you may need to activate it in the system.
  
  For materials, you can check the material master data and ensure that the status is set to active.
  For vendors or customers, check the relevant master data transactions.
