• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ARUN_ITA_MESSAGES018 - Cannot &3 order/item &1 with no IBD created ?

  The SAP error message ARUN_ITA_MESSAGES018 indicates that you are trying to process an order or item (identified by &1) that cannot be processed because there is no Inbound Delivery (IBD) created for it. This error typically occurs in the context of logistics and supply chain management within SAP, particularly when dealing with order fulfillment and inventory management.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the system requires an Inbound Delivery to be created before you can proceed with the processing of the order or item. This is often the case in scenarios where goods are being received into inventory, and the system needs to track the delivery of those goods before they can be allocated to an order.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Order/Item: Verify the order or item number mentioned in the error message. Ensure that it is correct and that you are attempting to process the right order.
  
  
  Create Inbound Delivery: If no Inbound Delivery exists for the order/item, you will need to create one. This can typically be done through the following steps:
  
  Navigate to the Inbound Delivery creation transaction (e.g., using transaction code VL31N).
  Enter the relevant details for the delivery, including the purchase order number or other relevant information.
  Save the Inbound Delivery.
  
  
  
  Confirm Delivery Creation: After creating the Inbound Delivery, confirm that it has been successfully created and is visible in the system.
  
  
  Retry the Process: Once the Inbound Delivery is created, retry the process that initially triggered the error. The system should now allow you to proceed with the order/item processing.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as:
