• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M7359 - Movement type &1 is only possible with ref. to a delivery ?

  The SAP error message M7359 indicates that a specific movement type (denoted by &1) can only be executed in reference to a delivery. This error typically occurs when you attempt to perform a goods movement (such as goods receipt or goods issue) using a movement type that is restricted to being linked to a delivery document, but you have not provided a delivery reference.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Movement Type: The movement type you are trying to use is configured to require a delivery reference, but you are not providing one.
  Missing Delivery Document: You may be trying to perform a movement without having a corresponding delivery document created.
  Configuration Issues: The movement type may be incorrectly configured in the system, leading to this restriction.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Movement Type: Verify the movement type you are using. You can do this by checking the movement type configuration in the SAP system (Transaction code: OMJJ). Ensure that you are using the correct movement type for your intended operation.
  
  
  Create or Reference a Delivery: If the movement type requires a delivery, ensure that you have created a delivery document in the system. You can create a delivery using the appropriate transaction (e.g., VL01N for outbound deliveries).
  
  
  Use the Correct Transaction: Make sure you are using the correct transaction for the type of goods movement you are trying to perform. For example, if you are trying to perform a goods receipt against a delivery, use the appropriate transaction (e.g., MIGO) and ensure you select the delivery reference.
  
  
  Consult Configuration: If you believe the movement type should not require a delivery reference, consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings for that movement type. They may need to adjust the configuration if it is not aligned with your business processes.
  
  
  Check Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help resources for additional context on the specific movement type and its requirements.
