• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QM143 - Entry for transfer posting to blocked stock is not defined ?

  The SAP error message QM143, "Entry for transfer posting to blocked stock is not defined," typically occurs in the context of Quality Management (QM) when there is an attempt to transfer stock to a blocked status, but the necessary configuration for this transfer is missing or incorrect.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The system does not have the necessary configuration to allow for transfer postings to blocked stock. This can happen if the relevant movement types or stock types are not defined in the system.
  Incorrect Movement Type: The movement type being used for the transfer posting may not be set up to allow for the transfer to blocked stock.
  Quality Inspection Status: The material may not have the correct quality inspection status, which can prevent the transfer to blocked stock.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the transfer posting.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Movement Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings in SAP (Transaction Code: SPRO).
  Navigate to Logistics Execution > Inventory Management > Movement Types.
  Ensure that the movement type you are using for the transfer posting to blocked stock is correctly defined and allows for such postings.

  User Authorizations:
