  SAP Error Message:
  W4143 & : & Valuated GR Blocked Stock Exists
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This warning message appears when you try to perform a goods movement or a related transaction involving material stock, but there is valuated goods receipt (GR) blocked stock existing for the material in question.
  
  Valuated GR Blocked Stock means that the goods receipt has been posted and valuated (i.e., accounting documents created), but the stock is currently blocked (e.g., quality inspection stock or blocked stock due to some issue).
  The system is warning you that there is stock which is valuated but currently blocked, and this might affect the transaction you are trying to perform.
  This situation often arises in scenarios involving quality inspection, blocked stock management, or when stock is blocked due to discrepancies or quality issues.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During goods movements such as transfer postings, goods issue, or goods receipt.
  When trying to clear or use stock that has valuated GR blocked stock.
  During invoice verification or material document processing if blocked stock exists.
  In quality management processes where stock is blocked pending inspection.
  
  
  Solution / How to Resolve:
  
  
  Check the Blocked Stock:
  
  Use transaction MB52 or MMBE to check the stock overview for the material.
  Look specifically for stock in the Blocked stock or Quality inspection stock status.
  
  
  
  Analyze the Cause of Blocked Stock:
  
  Investigate why the stock is blocked. It could be due to quality inspection, stock discrepancies, or manual blocking.
  Check quality management (QM) inspection lots if applicable (transaction QA32).
  
  
  
  Release or Clear the Blocked Stock:
  
  If the stock is blocked due to quality inspection and the inspection is complete and successful, release the stock using QM transactions.
  If the stock is blocked manually, unblock it if appropriate.
  If the stock is blocked due to discrepancies, resolve the discrepancies first.
  
  
  
  Post Necessary Goods Movements:
  
  If the blocked stock needs to be moved or scrapped, perform the appropriate goods movement (e.g., transfer posting from blocked to unrestricted stock or scrapping).
  
  
  
  Consult with Finance/Controlling:
  
  Since the stock is valuated, ensure that any changes comply with accounting and controlling requirements.
  
  
  
  Retry the Original Transaction:
  
  After resolving the blocked stock issue, retry the transaction that triggered the warning.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Message Class: W4 (Material Management)
  Message Number: 143
  This is a warning message, not an error, so the system allows you to continue but warns you about the presence of valuated blocked stock.
  It is important to handle valuated blocked stock carefully because it affects inventory valuation and financial accounting.
  In some cases, the warning can be suppressed or customized via message control if business processes allow.
