• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BAPI1022072 - Only positive quantities allowed ?

  The SAP error message BAPI1022072: Only positive quantities allowed typically occurs when you are trying to post a transaction that involves quantities, such as creating or updating a material document, sales order, or any other transaction that requires a quantity input. This error indicates that the system has received a negative or zero quantity, which is not permissible in the context of the operation you are trying to perform.
  Cause:
  
  Negative or Zero Quantity: The most common cause is that the quantity being passed to the BAPI (Business Application Programming Interface) is either negative or zero.
  Incorrect Data Mapping: If you are using a custom program or interface to call the BAPI, there might be an issue with how the data is being mapped or passed to the BAPI.
  Business Logic Violation: The business rules defined in the system may not allow for negative or zero quantities for certain operations.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Input Values: Ensure that the quantity being passed to the BAPI is a positive integer. If you are dynamically calculating this value, add validation to ensure it is greater than zero before making the BAPI call.
  Debugging: If you are using a custom program, debug the code to see what value is being passed to the BAPI. Look for any calculations or data transformations that might result in a negative or zero value.
  Review Business Logic: If the operation logically should allow for zero or negative quantities (e.g., returns), check if there are any specific configurations or settings in the SAP system that need to be adjusted.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your program to catch this error and provide a user-friendly message or log the issue for further investigation.
  
  Related Information:
  
  BAPI Documentation: Review the documentation for the specific BAPI you are using to understand the expected input parameters and their constraints.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to the BAPI you are using.
  Transaction Codes: If applicable, use transaction codes like SE37 (Function Module) or SE80 (Object Navigator) to explore the BAPI and its parameters.
  Testing: Test the BAPI call in a development or test environment with various valid and invalid inputs to understand how it behaves.
  
  By ensuring that only positive quantities are passed to the BAPI, you should be able to resolve the error message BAPI1022072.
