  WRF_PPW831: Material &1 cannot be postprocessed because it is deactivated
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to postprocess a material (e.g., in warehouse management, production, or inventory processes) that has been deactivated in the system. A deactivated material means it is no longer active for certain processes, such as posting goods movements, production orders, or warehouse tasks.
