  Error Message
  WRF_PPW820: You have already postprocessed material &1
  
  Cause
  This error occurs in SAP when you attempt to postprocess a material document or a related transaction that has already been postprocessed. The system detects that the material (identified by the placeholder &1, which will be replaced by the material number or document number) has already undergone the postprocessing step, and therefore it prevents duplicate postprocessing.
  Typical scenarios include:
  
  Trying to postprocess a goods movement or material document twice.
  Attempting to re-execute a postprocessing job or function that has already been completed.
  The system status or flags indicate that the postprocessing step is already done.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Postprocessing Status:
  
  Verify if the material document or transaction has already been postprocessed.
  Use transaction codes like MB51 (Material Document List) or MB03 (Display Material Document) to check the document status.
  Check the status management or workflow logs if applicable.
  
  
  
  Avoid Duplicate Postprocessing:
  
  Ensure that you are not running the postprocessing job or function multiple times for the same material document.
  If you are using a batch job or background job for postprocessing, verify the job logs and scheduling.
  
  
  
  Reset or Reprocess if Necessary:
  
  If the postprocessing was incomplete or needs to be redone, you may need to reset the status or delete the previous postprocessing flags.
  This usually requires authorization and should be done carefully to avoid data inconsistencies.
  Consult with your SAP Basis or functional team to reset the status or reprocess the document.
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Enhancements or User Exits:
  
  Sometimes, custom code or user exits might cause this error if they incorrectly handle postprocessing flags.
  Review any custom developments related to material postprocessing.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes and Support:
