• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ARUN_MAIN097 - Item &1 is partially delivered; schedule line cannot be rejected ?

  The SAP error message ARUN_MAIN097 indicates that an item in a sales order or delivery is partially delivered, and as a result, the schedule line cannot be rejected. This typically occurs in scenarios where there are multiple deliveries or partial deliveries associated with a single sales order item.
  Cause:
  
  Partial Delivery: The item has already been partially delivered, meaning that some quantity has been shipped, and the system does not allow the rejection of the schedule line because it would disrupt the delivery process.
  Open Schedule Lines: There may be open schedule lines for the item that are still pending delivery.
  Delivery Status: The delivery status of the item may not allow for rejection due to existing stock or delivery commitments.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Delivery Status: Review the delivery status of the item in question. If it has been partially delivered, you may need to complete the delivery process before attempting to reject the schedule line.
  Complete Remaining Deliveries: If there are remaining quantities to be delivered, consider completing those deliveries before rejecting the schedule line.
  Adjust Schedule Lines: If you need to reject the schedule line, you may need to adjust the quantities or create a new schedule line that reflects the correct delivery status.
  Consult with Logistics: If you are unsure about the implications of rejecting a schedule line, consult with your logistics or supply chain team to understand the impact on inventory and delivery commitments.
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize relevant transaction codes (like VL02N for delivery change) to manage the delivery and schedule lines effectively.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes such as VA02 (Change Sales Order), VL02N (Change Outbound Delivery), and VL03N (Display Outbound Delivery) to manage sales orders and deliveries.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on handling deliveries and schedule lines.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the appropriate user roles and permissions to make changes to sales orders and deliveries in the SAP system.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant for further assistance.
