• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message APPL_MM_IV_MODEL120 - Manually Reduced and "Unclarified Error" cannot be set at the same time ?

  The SAP error message APPL_MM_IV_MODEL120 typically occurs in the context of inventory management and invoice verification. This error indicates that there is a conflict between two statuses: "Manually Reduced" and "Unclarified Error." The system does not allow both statuses to be set simultaneously, as they represent conflicting conditions.
  Cause:
  
  
  Status Conflict: The error arises when an attempt is made to set an invoice or document to both "Manually Reduced" and "Unclarified Error" statuses at the same time. This is not allowed because:
  
  "Manually Reduced" indicates that the invoice has been adjusted manually.
  "Unclarified Error" suggests that there is an unresolved issue with the invoice that needs to be addressed.
  
  
  
  Data Entry Error: It may also occur due to incorrect data entry or processing logic in the system where both statuses are inadvertently triggered.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Document Status: Check the status of the invoice or document in question. You need to determine which status is appropriate based on the current situation.
  
  If the invoice has been manually reduced, ensure that it is not marked as having an unclarified error.
  Conversely, if there is an unclarified error, you should resolve that issue before attempting to set the invoice to manually reduced.
  
  
  
  Correct the Status: 
  
  If you find that the document is incorrectly set, you may need to change the status to reflect the correct condition. This can usually be done through the transaction code related to invoice verification (e.g., MIRO).
  If necessary, consult with your SAP support team or refer to the documentation for the specific transaction to understand how to change the status correctly.
  
  
  
  Error Resolution: If there is an underlying issue causing the unclarified error, address that first. This may involve:
  
  Checking for discrepancies in the invoice amount, purchase order, or goods receipt.
  Ensuring that all relevant documents are correctly posted and accounted for.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MIRO (Invoice Verification), MIGO (Goods Movement), and MB51 (Material Document List) to help diagnose and resolve issues.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. SAP Notes can provide additional context or solutions for specific scenarios.
