How To Fix WTADDI213 - Purchasing document & currently blocked

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: WTADDI - Additionals: Messages

• Message number: 213

• Message text: Purchasing document & currently blocked

What causes this issue?

You wish to have the system generate or change a purchase order for an
<DS:GLOS.additional>additional</> automatically. In order for this to
be possible, <DS:GLOS.purchase_order>purchasing document</> &V1&, to
which the additionals document is assigned, must be blocked. However,
this document is currently being processed.
No follow-on purchase order is generated, as processing the purchasing
document could result in changes being made to the additionals
document. For example, if you make changes now to the
<DS:DE.BSTMG>purchase order quantity</> or <DS:DE.EINDT>delivery date
</> in an item in purchasing document &V1&, this may lead to changes in
the additionals document.

System Response

The purchase order for the additional is not generated/changed.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WTADDI213 - Purchasing document & currently blocked ?

  The SAP error message WTADDI213: Purchasing document & currently blocked typically occurs in the context of Warehouse Management (WM) or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when there is an attempt to add or process a warehouse task or document related to a purchasing document that is currently blocked.
  
  Cause
  
  The purchasing document (e.g., a Purchase Order or a related inbound delivery) is blocked in the system.
  Blocking can happen due to various reasons such as:
  
  Quality inspection block.
  Manual block by a user.
  System block due to inconsistencies or errors.
  
  
  Because the purchasing document is blocked, the system prevents further processing or creation of warehouse tasks related to it.
  This is a control mechanism to avoid processing goods receipts or warehouse movements against documents that are not yet cleared for further processing.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the Block Status of the Purchasing Document:
  
  Go to the purchasing document (e.g., ME23N for Purchase Order).
  Check if the document is blocked for delivery or payment.
  In case of an inbound delivery, check VL33N or VL32N for any blocks.
  
  
  
  Remove the Block if Appropriate:
  
  If the block is no longer valid (e.g., quality inspection completed, or manual block no longer needed), remove the block.
  For quality inspection blocks, check the inspection lot and release it if inspection is passed.
  For manual blocks, coordinate with the responsible department to unblock the document.
  
  
  
  Check Warehouse Task or Delivery Document:
  
  Verify if the warehouse task or delivery document is correctly linked to the purchasing document.
  Ensure that the warehouse process is aligned with the purchasing document status.
  
  
  
  Reprocess the Warehouse Task:
  
  After unblocking, retry the warehouse task creation or processing.
  
  
  
  Consult Logs and Notes:
  
  Check application logs (transaction SLG1) for more detailed error messages.
