• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPCE/IURU_MES111 - Seals in category &1 could be issued only via MM transactions ?

  The SAP error message /SAPCE/IURU_MES111 indicates that seals in a specific category (denoted by &1) can only be issued through Materials Management (MM) transactions. This error typically arises in the context of managing seals or similar items in a logistics or inventory management scenario.
  Cause:
  
  Transaction Type: The error occurs when an attempt is made to issue seals using a transaction that is not part of the MM module. This could happen if the user is trying to use a custom transaction or a transaction from another module (like Sales and Distribution or Production Planning) that does not support the issuance of seals.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration for the seal categories may be set up to restrict issuance to only MM transactions. This is often done for compliance or control reasons.
  User Authorization: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the action in the MM module.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Use MM Transactions: Ensure that you are using the correct MM transaction codes for issuing seals. Common MM transactions include:
  
  MB1A: Goods Withdrawal
  MB1B: Transfer Posting

  MIRO: Invoice Verification (if applicable)
  
  Check with your SAP documentation or your SAP administrator for the specific transaction codes that are allowed for seal issuance.
  
  
  Check Configuration: If you believe you should be able to issue seals through the transaction you are using, check the configuration settings in the SAP system. This may require assistance from an SAP consultant or someone with configuration access.
  
  
  User Authorization: Verify that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the transaction. If not, contact your SAP security administrator to request the appropriate access.
