• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W5102 - Purchase requisition & & blocked ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  W5102 Purchase requisition & & blocked
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This warning message indicates that the Purchase Requisition (PR) with the specified number(s) is currently blocked. Blocking a purchase requisition usually means that it cannot be processed further (e.g., converted into a purchase order) until the block is removed.
  Common reasons for blocking a purchase requisition include:
  
  Manual blocking by a user due to issues with the PR (e.g., incorrect data, budget constraints, or pending approvals).
  System blocks due to workflow or release strategy not being completed.
  The PR is flagged for review or correction.
  Budget or authorization issues preventing further processing.
  
  
  Where it occurs:
  
  When trying to convert a purchase requisition into a purchase order (ME21N or ME59N).
  When attempting to change or process the PR.
  During release strategy checks if the PR is blocked.
  
  
  Solution / How to resolve:
  
  
  Check the Block Status:
  
  Go to transaction ME53N (Display Purchase Requisition).
  Enter the PR number.
  Check the status and see if the PR is blocked.
  
  
  
  Check Release Strategy:
  
  Verify if the PR is blocked due to incomplete release strategy.
  Use transaction ME54N to release the PR if you have authorization.
  If you do not have authorization, contact the responsible approver.
  
  
  
  Remove the Block:
  
  If the PR is manually blocked, you can unblock it in ME52N (Change Purchase Requisition) if you have the necessary permissions.
  Navigate to the "Header" or "Item" details and look for the block indicator.
  Remove the block flag and save.
  
  
  
  Check for Budget or Authorization Issues:
  
  Sometimes PRs are blocked due to budget checks.
  Verify budget availability and correct any issues.
  Coordinate with controlling or finance departments if needed.
  
  
  
  Check Workflow or Custom Blocks:
  
  If your system uses workflow for PR approval, check if the workflow is stuck or incomplete.
  Use transaction SWI1 or SWIA to monitor workflow status.
  Resolve any workflow errors or restart the workflow if necessary.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes / Support:
  
  If the block is due to a system issue or bug, check SAP Notes for relevant fixes.
  Contact your SAP support team if the block cannot be removed by normal means.
