Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LK048 - Several transfer orders in one IDOC for TO confirmation not possible ?

  The SAP error message LK048 ("Several transfer orders in one IDOC for TO confirmation not possible") typically occurs when you are trying to process multiple transfer orders (TOs) in a single Intermediate Document (IDoc) for confirmation. This is not allowed in SAP, as each IDoc should correspond to a single transfer order for confirmation purposes.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple TOs in One IDoc: The primary cause of this error is that the IDoc being processed contains multiple transfer orders, which is not supported for TO confirmations.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a configuration issue in the system that allows multiple TOs to be bundled into a single IDoc.
  Data Preparation Error: The data preparation step before sending the IDoc may have incorrectly grouped multiple TOs together.
  
  Solution:
  
  Single TO per IDoc: Ensure that each IDoc sent for TO confirmation contains only one transfer order. You may need to modify the process that generates the IDocs to ensure this.
  Check IDoc Generation Logic: Review the logic or program that generates the IDocs to confirm that it is set up to create one IDoc per transfer order.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in the IDoc processing logic to catch and manage cases where multiple TOs are inadvertently included.
  Testing: After making changes, conduct thorough testing to ensure that IDocs are generated correctly and that the error does not recur.
  
  Related Information:
  
  IDoc Types: Familiarize yourself with the specific IDoc types used for TO confirmations in your SAP system (e.g., WMMTOS for transfer order confirmations).
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this issue or provide additional guidance on IDoc processing for transfer orders.
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like WE02 or WE05 to monitor and analyze IDocs for errors and status.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to IDocs and transfer order processing for best practices and configuration settings.
  
  By ensuring that each IDoc corresponds to a single transfer order, you can resolve the LK048 error and streamline your TO confirmation process.
