• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BORGR648 - Movement type &1 not allowed; follow-on movement type is not maintained ?

  The SAP error message BORGR648 indicates that a specific movement type (denoted as &1 in the error message) is not allowed because the follow-on movement type has not been maintained in the system. This typically occurs in the context of inventory management or goods movements in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Movement Type Configuration: The movement type you are trying to use is not configured to allow the follow-on movement type. This can happen if the movement type is not set up correctly in the configuration settings.
  Missing Follow-On Movement Type: The follow-on movement type that should be triggered after the initial movement type is not defined in the system.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the movement type, leading to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Movement Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code OMJJ (or SPRO -> Logistics Execution -> Inventory Management -> Movement Types).
  Look for the movement type in question and check its settings.
  Ensure that the follow-on movement type is defined and allowed for the movement type you are using.
  
  
  
  Maintain Follow-On Movement Type:
  
  If the follow-on movement type is missing, you will need to maintain it.
  In the same configuration area, you can define the follow-on movement type that should be associated with the movement type you are using.
  
  
  
  Review User Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the movement type. This can be checked in the user roles and profiles assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the movement type again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Movement Types: Movement types in SAP are used to define the type of goods movement (e.g., goods receipt, goods issue, transfer postings). Each movement type has specific settings that determine how the system processes the movement.
  Follow-On Movements: These are subsequent movements that can occur after an initial movement type, such as a goods receipt followed by a transfer to a storage location.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MB1A, MB1B, MB1C, and MIGO for performing various goods movements.
  
  If the issue persists after checking the configuration and authorizations, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or functional team for further investigation.
