  Blocking Reasons are used in the Sales component of SAP to prevent certain sales documents from being processed. They are used to block certain sales documents from being saved, released, or posted. Blocking Reasons can be assigned to a customer, material, or sales document type. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use Blocking Reasons, you must first assign them to a customer, material, or sales document type. This can be done in the Customizing application for Sales and Distribution. Once the Blocking Reason is assigned, it will be applied to all sales documents of that type.
