• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FSH_MM_COMMON023 - Purchase document &1 is Incomplete. Snapshot Status &2 Not Allowed ?

  The SAP error message FSH_MM_COMMON023 indicates that a purchase document (like a purchase order) is incomplete and cannot be processed further due to its current status. The message typically arises in the context of the SAP Materials Management (MM) module, particularly when dealing with purchasing documents.
  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when:
  
  Incomplete Data: The purchase document lacks required information or fields that are necessary for processing.
  Status Restrictions: The current status of the purchase document does not allow for the action you are trying to perform (e.g., creating a snapshot, changing the document, etc.).
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that enforce certain rules regarding the status of purchase documents.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Document Completeness:
  
  Open the purchase document in question and review all the required fields. Ensure that all mandatory fields are filled out correctly.
  Look for any missing information in the item details, vendor information, or any other relevant sections.
  
  
  
  Review Document Status:
  
  Check the status of the purchase document. If it is in a status that does not allow further processing (like "Blocked" or "Incomplete"), you may need to change the status or complete the necessary steps to move it to a valid status.
  If the document is in a "Draft" or "Incomplete" status, you may need to complete it or save it properly.
  
  
  
  Consult with Configuration:
  
  If you suspect that the issue is related to configuration settings, consult with your SAP MM configuration team. They can check if there are any specific settings that restrict the processing of purchase documents based on their status.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
  
  Use transaction codes like ME23N (Display Purchase Order) or ME22N (Change Purchase Order) to review and edit the purchase document.
  If necessary, use ME51N (Create Purchase Requisition) to create a new document if the current one cannot be completed.
  
  
  
  Check for User Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the purchase document. Lack of proper permissions can also lead to incomplete processing.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error message or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in the MM module for managing purchase documents.
  SAP Documentation: Review SAP documentation for the MM module to understand the requirements for purchase documents and the implications of their statuses.
  User Training: Ensure that users involved in the purchasing process are adequately trained on how to create and manage purchase documents to avoid common pitfalls that lead to incomplete documents.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and take appropriate action to resolve it.
