Symptom
When we try to create a new Supplier Invoice , we get the error : Individual Material is either Obsolete or Blocked
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Supplier Invoicing work center
- Go to Invoice Entry view
- Search for Purchase Order ABC
- Click on New Invoice
- We see the error "Individual Material is either Obsolete or Blocked"
Cause
Go to Fixed Assets work center -> Fixed Assets view -> Advanced Filter -> search for Individual Material ID 'X' -> we find the status of the material is Retired
As the status of the Individual material is Retired, the error occurs. This is not allowing to process the new invoice creation.
Resolution
Please remove the Individual Material which are Retired and then proceed with the creation of the Invoice.
You can also add the active material to the Purchase Order or create a new Purchase Order with the active materials and then proceed with creation of new Supplier Invoice.
As the individual materials are retired, you will not be able to use them further.
