• Message number: 425

• Message text: You cannot set the final delivery indicator for the gds mvmnt for mat. &

What causes this issue?

The following situation has occured:
The batch of an ordered material will not be delivered. For this reason,
you want to set the inward delivery completed indicator for the PO item
for the goods movement by entering the quantity to post as zero, and
setting the <LS>Inward Delivery Completed</> indicator in the material
document.
In your system in plant &V3&, the
<DS:GLOS.3526B6D3AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>material ledger</> is active.
Since the batch does not yet exist (batch master data in the plant) and
will first be created during the goods movement, the system cancels
posting of the goods movement. This is because in this case, where
Material Ledger is active, the system cannot generate any corresponding
master data.

System Response

You cannot set the inward delivery completed indicator for the PO item
for material &V1&, batch &V2& for this goods movement.

How to fix this error?

You can only set this indicator for the relevant PO item in the purchase
order itself. To do this, use the transaction <LS>Change Purchase Order
</> (
<DS:TRAN.ME22N>ME22N</>).
