    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message WG112:


    SAP Error Message: WG112

    Message Text:
    Material & blocked for &. Material status from &.


    1. Cause

    This error occurs when you try to perform a transaction or process involving a material that is currently blocked due to its material status settings. The material status controls the usability of the material in various business processes (e.g., procurement, sales, production). If the material status is set to block certain activities, SAP will prevent those activities and issue this message.

    • The placeholders (&) in the message are replaced by:
      • The material number
      • The activity or process that is blocked (e.g., sales, procurement)
      • The material status code that is causing the block

    Example:
    "Material 123456 blocked for sales. Material status from 03."


    2. Explanation

    • Material Status is a master data attribute assigned to a material in the Material Master (transaction MM02 or MM03).
    • It controls whether the material can be used in specific areas such as:
      • Purchasing
      • Sales
      • Production
      • Quality Management
      • Inventory Management
    • If the material status restricts a particular activity, SAP will block the transaction related to that activity.

    3. Solution

    To resolve the error:

    1. Check the Material Status:

      • Go to transaction MM03 (Display Material).
      • Enter the material number.
      • Navigate to the Basic Data 1 or Basic Data 2 tab (depending on SAP version).
      • Check the Material Status field.
    2. Review the Material Status Settings:

      • Use transaction OMS2 to display material status definitions.
      • Check which activities are blocked by the current material status.
    3. Change the Material Status (if appropriate):

      • If the block is not intended, change the material status to one that allows the required activity.
      • Use transaction MM02 (Change Material).
      • Update the material status field accordingly.
      • Save the changes.
    4. Coordinate with Business Process Owners:

      • Material status is often set for business reasons (e.g., quality hold, discontinued material).
      • Confirm with relevant departments before changing the status.

    4. Additional Information

    • Material Status Configuration (OMS2):
      Here you define which activities are allowed or blocked for each material status. Activities include:

      • Procurement
      • Sales
      • Production
      • Quality Management
      • Inventory Management
    • Common Use Cases for Blocking Material:

      • Material under quality inspection
      • Material discontinued or obsolete
      • Material not yet released for sales or production
    • Related Transactions:

      • MM02 – Change Material Master
      • MM03 – Display Material Master
      • OMS2 – Define Material Status

    Summary
