• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MEEXTFU010 - Serial number quantity does not match purchase order quantity ?

  The SAP error message MEEXTFU010, which states "Serial number quantity does not match purchase order quantity," typically occurs in the context of goods receipt or inventory management when there is a discrepancy between the quantity of serial numbers being entered and the quantity specified in the purchase order (PO).
  Cause:
  
  
  Mismatch in Quantities: The most common cause of this error is that the quantity of serial numbers being entered does not match the quantity of items specified in the purchase order. For example, if the PO states that 10 units are to be received, but only 8 serial numbers are entered, this error will occur.
  
  
  Incorrect Serial Number Entry: If the serial numbers entered are incorrect or do not correspond to the items being received, this can also trigger the error.
  
  
  Partial Deliveries: If a partial delivery is being processed and the system is expecting a different quantity based on the PO, this can lead to a mismatch.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that affect how serial numbers are managed and validated against purchase orders.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify Quantities: Check the purchase order to confirm the expected quantity of items. Ensure that the number of serial numbers being entered matches this quantity.
  
  
  Correct Serial Number Entry: Make sure that the serial numbers being entered are valid and correspond to the items being received. If there are any discrepancies, correct them.
  
  
  Adjust Purchase Order: If the delivery is indeed partial and the PO needs to be adjusted, consider updating the purchase order to reflect the correct quantity being received.
  
  
  Check Delivery Documents: If the goods receipt is being processed against a delivery document, ensure that the delivery document reflects the correct quantities and serial numbers.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for any specific configurations or settings that may need to be adjusted.
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize relevant transaction codes (like MIGO for goods movement) to check the status of the PO and the delivery.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes such as MIGO (Goods Movement), ME23N (Display Purchase Order), and IQ01/IQ02 (Create/Change Serial Numbers) for managing and troubleshooting serial numbers and purchase orders.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the goods receipt and manage serial numbers.
