• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BORGR849 - Incoterm &1 for delivery does not match incoterm &2 in purchase order ?

  The SAP error message BORGR849 indicates a mismatch between the Incoterms specified in a delivery and those in the corresponding purchase order. This error typically arises during the processing of deliveries, where the system checks for consistency between the Incoterms defined in the purchase order and those in the delivery document.
  Cause:
  
  Mismatch of Incoterms: The Incoterm defined in the delivery does not match the Incoterm defined in the purchase order. This could be due to manual entry errors or incorrect data in the master records.
  Data Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of Incoterms in the system, leading to discrepancies.
  Changes in Purchase Order: If the purchase order was modified after the delivery was created, the changes may not have been reflected in the delivery document.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Incoterms: Verify the Incoterms in both the purchase order and the delivery document. Ensure that they match. You can do this by:
  
  Navigating to the purchase order (transaction code ME23N) and checking the Incoterm field.
  Navigating to the delivery document (transaction code VL03N) and checking the Incoterm field.
  
  
  
  Update Delivery Document: If the Incoterms in the delivery do not match those in the purchase order, you can update the delivery document to reflect the correct Incoterms. This can be done by:
  
  Using transaction code VL02N to change the delivery document and update the Incoterm field to match the purchase order.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration: If the issue persists, review the configuration settings for Incoterms in the SAP system. Ensure that the Incoterms are correctly defined in the system and that there are no inconsistencies.
  
  
  Communicate with Stakeholders: If the mismatch is due to a change in the purchase order or delivery requirements, communicate with relevant stakeholders (e.g., procurement, logistics) to ensure that everyone is aligned on the correct Incoterms.
  
  
  Recreate Delivery: In some cases, if the delivery document is significantly out of sync with the purchase order, it may be easier to cancel the delivery and create a new one that correctly reflects the purchase order details.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Incoterms: These are international commercial terms that define the responsibilities of buyers and sellers in international transactions. They specify who is responsible for shipping, insurance, duties, and other logistical aspects.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for more detailed information on handling delivery and purchase order processes.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as ME23N (Display Purchase Order), VL03N (Display Outbound Delivery), and VL02N (Change Outbound Delivery) for troubleshooting.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the BORGR849 error and ensure that the Incoterms are consistent across your documents.
