• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IEN405 - Reservation is not used without goods movement ?

  The SAP error message IEN405 ("Reservation is not used without goods movement") typically occurs when there is an attempt to process a reservation that has not been linked to any goods movement. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when trying to delete or change a reservation that has not been utilized in any inventory transaction.
  Cause:
  
  No Goods Movement: The reservation was created but has not been used in any goods movement (e.g., goods issue, goods receipt).
  Incorrect Reservation Status: The reservation may be in a status that does not allow for the intended operation (e.g., deletion or modification).
  System Configuration: There may be configuration settings in the system that prevent the reservation from being processed as expected.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Reservation Usage: Verify if the reservation has been used in any goods movement. You can do this by checking the reservation document in the system.
  Delete or Modify Reservation: If the reservation is not needed, you can delete it directly if it has not been used. Use transaction code MB22 to change or delete the reservation.
  Create Goods Movement: If the reservation is still needed, ensure that it is linked to a goods movement. You can create a goods issue or goods receipt against the reservation using the appropriate transaction codes (e.g., MB1A for goods issue).
  Check Configuration: If the issue persists, consult with your SAP administrator or functional consultant to review the configuration settings related to reservations and goods movements.
