    The SAP error message /STTPEC/MC_MD064 typically indicates that a material has been selected in a context where it is not allowed or where there is a conflict with the current operation. This error is often encountered in the context of inventory management, material master data, or during the execution of certain transactions related to materials.

    Cause:

    1. Material Status: The material may have a status that prevents it from being processed (e.g., blocked for procurement, inactive).
