  W7057 - Material &1 cannot be reclassified
  
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs when you attempt to reclassify a material in SAP, but the system determines that the material cannot be reclassified. The reasons for this can include:
  
  The material is already assigned to a classification that does not allow reclassification.
  The material is linked to transactions or master data that restrict reclassification.
  The classification system or class type does not permit changes once assigned.
  The material is locked or has status restrictions preventing reclassification.
  The material is used in processes or documents that prevent changes to its classification.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve or work around this issue, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Material Status:
  
  Verify if the material has any status (e.g., deletion flag, locked status) that prevents reclassification.
  Use transaction MM03 to view material status.
  
  
  
  Review Classification Data:
  
  Check the current classification of the material using transaction CL20N or MM02 (Classification tab).
  Confirm if the class or class type allows reclassification.
