  The SAP error message /SCWM/GOODS_MOVEMENT034 indicates that a goods movement cannot be posted because the specified delivery and item are in a "Blocked" status. This typically occurs in the context of warehouse management and logistics processes within SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM).
  Cause:
  
  
  Blocked Status: The delivery or item is marked as "Blocked" due to various reasons, such as:
  
  Quality inspection is required.
  The item is under a hold due to inventory discrepancies.
  The delivery is incomplete or has not met certain criteria for processing.
  Manual blocking by a user or system process.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that automatically block certain deliveries or items based on specific criteria.
  
  
  Incomplete Processes: The delivery might be part of a process that has not been fully completed, such as a previous goods movement or quality check.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Delivery Status: 
  
  Go to the delivery document in SAP and check the status of the delivery and the specific item. Look for any indicators that show why it is blocked.
  
  
  
  Review Quality Inspection: 
  
  If the item is blocked for quality inspection, ensure that the inspection is completed and the item is released.
  
  
  
  Unblock the Item: 
  
  If the item is blocked manually, you may need to change the status back to "Unblocked" using the appropriate transaction or function in SAP.
  
  
  
  Consult with Warehouse Management: 
  
  If you are unsure why the item is blocked, consult with your warehouse management team or the person responsible for inventory management to understand the reason for the block.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration: 
  
  Review the configuration settings in SAP EWM to ensure that there are no rules or settings that are causing the item to be blocked unnecessarily.
  
  
  
  Transaction Codes: 
  
  Use transaction codes like VL03N (Display Outbound Delivery) or LB03 (Display Transfer Order) to investigate the status of the delivery and item.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for more details on goods movement and delivery processing in EWM.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address known issues or provide additional guidance on handling blocked deliveries.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that the user attempting to post the goods movement has the necessary authorizations to perform the action.
