• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MIGO044 - Change of movement type &1 to &2 not possible ?

  The SAP error message MIGO044, which states "Change of movement type &1 to &2 not possible," typically occurs during the processing of goods movements in the MIGO transaction. This error indicates that the system is unable to change the movement type from one type to another due to certain restrictions or conditions.
  Causes:
  
  
  Movement Type Restrictions: Certain movement types have specific rules and restrictions associated with them. For example, you cannot change a goods receipt (movement type 101) to a goods issue (movement type 201) directly.
  
  
  Document Status: The document you are trying to change may be in a status that does not allow for movement type changes. For instance, if the document is already posted or has been partially processed, the system may prevent changes.
  
  
  Configuration Settings: The movement types may be configured in a way that does not allow for the change. This could be due to settings in the configuration of the material management module.
  
  
  Stock Type: The stock type associated with the movement may not allow for the change. For example, stock in quality inspection may have different rules compared to unrestricted stock.
  
  
  Document Type: The type of document being processed may not support the change in movement types.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Movement Type Compatibility: Review the compatibility of the movement types you are trying to change. Refer to the SAP documentation or consult with your SAP MM consultant to understand the rules governing the movement types.
  
  
  Review Document Status: Ensure that the document is in a status that allows for changes. If the document is already posted, you may need to reverse the document first before making changes.
  
  
  Configuration Review: If you have access to the configuration settings, check the movement type settings in the SPRO transaction under the Material Management module. Ensure that the movement types are configured correctly.
  
  
  Use Alternative Transactions: If changing the movement type is not possible, consider using alternative transactions to achieve the desired outcome. For example, if you need to change a goods receipt to a goods issue, you may need to create a new goods issue document instead.
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions to common issues.
