• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BORGR642 - There is no item for which partial goods receipt is possible ?

  The SAP error message BORGR642 ("There is no item for which partial goods receipt is possible") typically occurs during the goods receipt process in SAP when you attempt to post a partial goods receipt for a purchase order (PO) item that does not allow for partial receipts. This can happen for several reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for resolving the issue.
  Causes:
  
  PO Item Configuration: The purchase order item may be configured to require a full receipt. This is often the case for items that are marked as "No Partial Delivery" in the PO settings.
  Quantity Issues: The quantity you are trying to receive may exceed the total quantity ordered or may not match the allowed partial quantities.
  Delivery Status: The delivery status of the PO item may not allow for partial receipts, especially if the item is already fully received or if the item is flagged as "completed."
  Item Category: Certain item categories in SAP (like service items) may not support partial goods receipts.
  Stock Type: The stock type (e.g., unrestricted, blocked) may also affect the ability to post a partial goods receipt.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check PO Settings: Review the purchase order item settings to see if the "No Partial Delivery" option is checked. If it is, you may need to change it to allow partial deliveries.
  Adjust Receipt Quantity: Ensure that the quantity you are trying to receive is within the allowed limits. If you need to receive a partial quantity, make sure it is less than the total ordered quantity and that it adheres to any defined partial delivery rules.
  Review Delivery Status: Check the delivery status of the PO item. If it is already fully received, you will not be able to post a partial receipt.
  Change Item Category: If applicable, consider changing the item category to one that allows for partial receipts, if this aligns with your business processes.
  Consult with Procurement: If you are unsure about the settings or need to make changes to the PO, consult with your procurement or purchasing department for guidance.
