• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRB006 - Enter an item status ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRB006 - Enter an item status
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you are trying to save or process a document (such as a goods movement, inventory transaction, or quality management record) that requires an item status to be entered, but the system finds that the item status field is empty or missing.
  In SAP, item status is often used in Quality Management (QM) or Warehouse Management (WM) processes to indicate the status of a material or batch at the item level (e.g., "Blocked," "Released," "In Inspection," etc.). The system expects this status to be specified to proceed with the transaction.
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  During goods receipt or goods issue postings involving QM inspection lots.
  When processing inventory management documents that require item status.
  In quality notifications or inspection lot processing where item status is mandatory.
  When customizing or user-exits enforce item status entry.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Enter the required item status:  
  
  Check the item details in the transaction screen and enter the appropriate item status in the designated field.
  The field might be labeled as "Item Status," "Inspection Status," or similar depending on the transaction.
  
  
  
  Check configuration:
  
  Verify if the item status is mandatory for the transaction type in your system.
  In QM, check the inspection lot settings or QM control keys to see if item status is required.
  In WM or Inventory Management, check if the movement type or document type requires item status.
  
  
  
  Review master data:
  
  Ensure that the material master or batch master has valid statuses assigned.
  Check if the status profile is correctly maintained.
  
  
  
  User-exits or enhancements:
  
  If custom code or user-exits are implemented, verify if they enforce item status entry.
  Adjust the code or provide the required status accordingly.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP documentation or support:
  
  If unsure about the correct item status to enter, refer to your business process documentation or SAP help for the specific module.
