  WR147 - Enter an item status
  
  Cause:
  The error message WR147 - Enter an item status typically occurs in SAP when you are processing a transaction (often related to Warehouse Management, Inventory Management, or Quality Management) that requires an item status to be specified, but the system detects that this information is missing.
  Item status in SAP is used to control the processing of materials or stock items, such as blocking stock for quality inspection, marking it as unrestricted, or designating it for special handling. If the system expects an item status to be entered (for example, during goods movement, stock transfer, or posting changes) and it is not provided, this error is triggered.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During goods receipt or goods issue postings where item status is mandatory.
  When handling stock with special stock indicators or quality inspection stock.
  In warehouse management transactions where item status controls the flow or availability of stock.
  When customizing or configuration requires item status input for certain movement types or processes.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Enter the required item status:
  
  When the system prompts for an item status, ensure you enter the correct status code. This is usually done in the item details screen or in the relevant field for item status.
  
  
  Check the movement type or transaction settings:
  
  Verify if the movement type or transaction you are using requires an item status. If yes, make sure the item status is maintained in the document.
  
  
  Review configuration:  
  
  Check the configuration in SPRO under Inventory Management or Warehouse Management to see if item status is mandatory for the process you are executing.
  For example, in Quality Management, check if the stock is blocked or under inspection and requires an item status.
  
  
  
  Check master data:
  
  Ensure that the material master or batch master has the correct item status settings if applicable.
