• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LOP144 - Enter part 2 of the incoterms. Business key &1 ?

  The SAP error message LOP144, which states "Enter part 2 of the incoterms. Business key &1," typically occurs in the context of logistics and shipping processes within the SAP system. This error indicates that the system requires the second part of the Incoterms to be entered for a particular business transaction, such as a sales order or delivery.
  Cause:
  
  Incomplete Incoterms: The Incoterms (International Commercial Terms) are a set of rules that define the responsibilities of sellers and buyers in international transactions. They usually consist of a term (like EXW, FOB, CIF, etc.) followed by a location. If only the first part of the Incoterms is provided without the second part (the location), the system will trigger this error.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with how Incoterms are configured in the SAP system, leading to incomplete data being processed.
  Data Entry Error: Users may have inadvertently left out the second part of the Incoterms during data entry.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check and Complete Incoterms:
  
  Navigate to the relevant transaction (e.g., sales order, delivery).
  Locate the field for Incoterms and ensure that both parts are filled in correctly. For example, if the Incoterm is "CIF," ensure that a location (like "New York") is also specified.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, check the configuration settings for Incoterms in the SAP system. Ensure that the Incoterms are set up correctly in the customizing settings (transaction code SPRO).
  Go to Logistics > Sales and Distribution > Basic Functions > Shipping > Transportation > Define Incoterms to verify the settings.
  
  
  
  User Training:
  
  Ensure that users entering data are trained on the importance of completing both parts of the Incoterms to avoid this error in the future.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for additional guidance on how to properly enter Incoterms in the system.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Incoterms: Familiarize yourself with the different Incoterms and their meanings. The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) publishes these terms, and they are updated periodically.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes or updates that may address this error or provide additional context.
  Support: If the issue persists after checking the above points, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert for further assistance.
