• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ARUN_MAIN027 - Goods issue is not possible as a delivery already exists ?

  The SAP error message ARUN_MAIN027 indicates that a goods issue cannot be processed because a delivery document already exists for the item in question. This typically occurs in scenarios where inventory management and delivery processes are tightly integrated, such as in the case of outbound deliveries.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Delivery Document: The primary cause of this error is that a delivery document has already been created for the goods that you are trying to issue. This means that the system recognizes that the goods are already allocated to a delivery, and therefore, it cannot allow a separate goods issue for the same items.
  Incorrect Process Flow: The process flow may not be followed correctly. For example, if you are trying to perform a goods issue for an item that is already part of a delivery, the system will prevent this action to maintain data integrity.
  Stock Type Issues: The stock type (e.g., unrestricted, quality inspection, blocked) may also affect the ability to perform a goods issue if the stock is already allocated to a delivery.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Deliveries: Review the existing delivery documents to see if the items you are trying to issue are already included. You can do this by using transaction codes like VL03N (Display Outbound Delivery) to check the status of the delivery.
  Cancel or Modify Delivery: If the delivery is not yet shipped and you need to perform a goods issue, you may need to cancel or modify the delivery. This can be done using transaction codes like VL02N (Change Outbound Delivery) or VL09 (Cancel Goods Issue for Outbound Delivery).
  Perform Goods Issue Against Delivery: If the delivery is valid and should remain, you can perform the goods issue against the delivery instead of trying to issue the goods separately. This can be done using transaction code VL01N (Create Outbound Delivery) or MIGO (Goods Movement) with the appropriate delivery reference.
  Consult with Your SAP Team: If you are unsure about the process or need further assistance, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who can provide guidance based on your specific configuration and business processes.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MIGO (Goods Movement), VL01N (Create Outbound Delivery), VL02N (Change Outbound Delivery), and VL03N (Display Outbound Delivery).
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on goods movements and delivery processing.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the required actions in the system.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the ARUN_MAIN027 error and proceed with your goods issue or delivery processing as needed.
