    Error Message

    WTADDI214: Goods movement document & currently blocked


    Cause

    This error occurs when you try to perform a goods movement (such as a transfer posting, goods issue, or goods receipt) referencing a material document that is currently blocked in the system. The block can be due to various reasons, such as:

    • The material document is locked by another user or process.
    • The document is in a status that prevents further processing (e.g., it is under quality inspection, or a related workflow is not yet completed).
    • The document is involved in an incomplete or inconsistent transaction.
    • The document is blocked due to system inconsistencies or errors during posting.

    In Warehouse Management (WM) or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM), this can happen if the document is locked for update or if a related warehouse task or transfer order is not yet confirmed or is blocked.


    Solution

    1. Check Document Lock Status:

      • Use transaction SM12 to check if the material document or related objects are locked.
      • If a lock exists and is obsolete (e.g., from a crashed session), you may need to delete the lock after confirming no active process is using it.
    2. Check Document Status:

      • Review the status of the material document in MB03 (Display Material Document).
      • Check if the document is blocked or if there are any related quality inspection or workflow holds.
    3. Check Related Warehouse Documents:

      • In WM/EWM, check if related transfer orders or warehouse tasks are confirmed or blocked.
      • Use transactions like LT23 (Display Transfer Order) or EWM monitor to check the status.
    4. Release or Complete Related Processes:

      • If the document is blocked due to quality inspection, complete or release the inspection.
      • If a workflow is pending, complete or cancel the workflow.
    5. System Consistency Checks:

      • Run consistency checks or report programs if available.
      • Consult with your SAP Basis or functional team if the document is stuck due to system errors.
    6. Reattempt the Transaction:

      • After resolving the block, retry the goods movement.
