  The SAP error message SPC02825 indicates that there is an issue with processing a goods receipt (GR) for a purchase order (PO) due to a change in the material associated with that PO. This error typically arises when there is a mismatch between the material data in the PO and the material data in the goods receipt.
  Cause:
  
  Material Change: The material associated with the PO has been changed after the PO was created. This could be due to updates in the material master data or changes made to the PO itself.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check PO and Material Data:

  Consult with Procurement:
  
  If you are unsure about the changes made to the PO or material, consult with the procurement team or the person responsible for managing the PO.
