    The SAP error message "UDM_WORK_LIST122: Business partner & is blocked, current action cannot be performed" typically indicates that the business partner you are trying to work with is currently blocked in the system. This can prevent certain actions from being performed, such as creating or modifying records related to that business partner.

    Cause:

    1. Blocked Status: The business partner may be marked as blocked in the system due to various reasons, such as compliance issues, credit limits being exceeded, or other internal policies.
    2. Data Integrity Issues: There may be data integrity issues that have led to the business partner being flagged as blocked.
    3. User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to perform actions on blocked business partners.

    Solution:

    1. Check Business Partner Status:

      • Navigate to the business partner master data in SAP (transaction code BP).
      • Search for the business partner in question and check its status. If it is blocked, you will need to determine the reason for the block.
    2. Unblock the Business Partner:

      • If you have the necessary permissions, you can unblock the business partner by editing the master data and changing the status from blocked to active.
      • Ensure that any underlying issues that caused the block are resolved before unblocking.
    3. Consult with Relevant Departments:

      • If you do not have the authority to unblock the business partner, consult with your finance, compliance, or relevant department to understand why the business partner is blocked and if it can be unblocked.
    4. Review User Permissions:

      • Ensure that your user role has the necessary permissions to perform actions on business partners. If not, contact your SAP administrator to adjust your permissions.
    5. Documentation and Compliance:

      • Ensure that all documentation and compliance checks are in place before unblocking a business partner to avoid future issues.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as BP (Business Partner), FD32 (Customer Credit Management), and FBL1N (Vendor Line Item Display) for managing business partner data.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to business partner management.
    • Training: Consider training sessions on business partner management in SAP to better understand the implications of blocking and unblocking business partners.
