• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KN072 - Not all quantities will be displayed ?

  The SAP error message KN072 ("Not all quantities will be displayed") typically occurs in the context of sales and distribution (SD) or materials management (MM) when there is an issue with the display of quantities in a transaction, such as a sales order or delivery. This message indicates that not all relevant quantities can be shown due to certain conditions or settings in the system.
  Causes:
  
  Quantity Limits: The system may have a limit on the number of quantities that can be displayed at once, especially if there are many line items or if the quantities exceed a certain threshold.
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the data, such as missing or incorrect entries in the master data (e.g., material master, customer master).
  Configuration Settings: Certain configuration settings in the SAP system may restrict the display of quantities based on specific criteria (e.g., status of the order, delivery status).
  User Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view all the quantities related to the transaction.
  Document Status: The status of the document (e.g., partially delivered, blocked) may affect the visibility of certain quantities.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Configuration Settings: Review the configuration settings in the SAP system related to the display of quantities. Ensure that there are no restrictions that would prevent the display of all relevant quantities.
  Data Consistency Check: Verify the master data for the materials and customers involved in the transaction. Ensure that all necessary data is complete and accurate.
  Review User Authorizations: Check the user roles and authorizations to ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to view all quantities.
  Analyze Document Status: Look into the status of the document to see if it is affecting the display of quantities. If the document is partially processed, some quantities may not be displayed.
  Use Alternative Transactions: If the issue persists, consider using alternative transactions or reports that may provide a different view of the data.
