• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/GLOBAL_TRADE002 - Execution block selected; enter a block reason code ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/GLOBAL_TRADE002 typically occurs in the context of Global Trade Management (GTM) within the SAP Transportation Management (TM) module. This error indicates that an execution block has been selected, but a block reason code has not been provided. 
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when a user attempts to execute a process (like a shipment or transportation order) that has been marked as blocked, but they have not specified a reason for the block. This is a safeguard to ensure that users provide a justification for blocking the execution of certain processes, which is important for compliance and auditing purposes.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to provide a block reason code. Here are the steps to do so:
  
  
  Identify the Blocked Execution Block: Determine which execution block is causing the error. This could be a shipment, transportation order, or another relevant object.
  
  
  Access the Block Reason Code Field: Navigate to the relevant transaction or screen where the execution block is being processed.
  
  
  Enter a Block Reason Code: Look for a field labeled "Block Reason Code" or similar. Enter a valid reason code that corresponds to the nature of the block. If you are unsure of the available codes, you may need to consult your organization's documentation or SAP configuration.
  
  
  Save the Changes: After entering the block reason code, save your changes and attempt to execute the process again.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Configuration: The block reason codes are typically configured in the SAP system. If you do not see any available codes, you may need to check with your SAP administrator or the person responsible for system configuration to ensure that the necessary codes are set up.
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal or your organization's internal documentation for more details on how to manage execution blocks and block reason codes.
  
  
  User Roles and Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to enter block reason codes. If you do not have the required access, you may need to contact your system administrator.
  
  
  Audit and Compliance: Providing a block reason code is often part of compliance and auditing processes, especially in industries that are heavily regulated. Make sure to choose a reason that accurately reflects the situation.
