  Error Message Text
  WG111: Material & blocked for &. Material status from &
  
  The placeholders (&) are replaced at runtime with specific values, for example:
  
  Material number
  The process or transaction for which the material is blocked (e.g., goods movement, posting)
  The material status or the date from which the status is effective
  
  
  
  
  Cause
  
  The material in question has a material status assigned that restricts certain activities.
  Material status is a control mechanism in SAP that can block or restrict certain transactions for a material, such as:
  
  Goods receipt
  Goods issue
  Posting changes
  Physical inventory
  
  
  The material status might have been set manually or automatically and is effective from a certain date.
  The system prevents the transaction because the material status does not allow the requested operation.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the Material Status:
  
  Use transaction MM03 (Display Material) and navigate to the Basic Data or Plant Data views to check the material status.
  Alternatively, check the material status in MM02 (Change Material) if you have authorization.
  
  
  
  Review Material Status Settings:
  
  Material statuses are maintained in SPRO under:
  Logistics - General > Material Master > Settings for Key Fields > Define Material Status
  
  Check which activities are blocked by the current material status.
  
  
  
  Adjust Material Status if Appropriate:
  
  If the material status is unnecessarily restrictive, change it to a status that allows the required transaction.
  This can be done via MM02 or by mass changes if needed.
  
  
  
  Check Validity Period:
  
  The material status is valid from a certain date. Ensure that the status is valid for the date of the transaction.
  
  
  
  Coordinate with Business Process Owners:
  
  Material status changes can impact business processes. Confirm with relevant stakeholders before changing statuses.
