  The SAP error message WRF_PRC_POHF156 indicates that you are trying to block or unblock a subitem in a purchase order (PO) or a related document, but the system only allows this action for main items. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:

  Identify the Main Item: Check the purchase order to identify the main item associated with the subitem you are trying to block or unblock.
  
  
  Block/Unblock the Main Item: Instead of trying to block or unblock the subitem, perform the action on the main item. This can usually be done in the purchase order screen by selecting the main item and using the appropriate function to block or unblock it.
