• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MILL050 - Sales order/dependent requirement with underdelivery tolerance ?

  The SAP error message MILL050 indicates that there is an issue with a sales order or dependent requirement that has an underdelivery tolerance. This typically occurs in the context of sales and distribution (SD) and materials management (MM) modules when the quantity delivered is less than the quantity ordered, and the underdelivery tolerance settings do not allow for this discrepancy.
  Cause:
  
  Underdelivery Tolerance Settings: The underdelivery tolerance is a configuration setting that specifies the acceptable percentage or quantity by which the delivered quantity can fall short of the ordered quantity. If the delivered quantity exceeds this tolerance, the system will generate the MILL050 error.
  Sales Order Configuration: The sales order may have specific settings that do not allow for underdelivery, or the tolerance may not be set appropriately for the item in question.
  Material Master Settings: The material master record may have settings that restrict underdelivery for certain materials.
  Delivery Quantity: The actual quantity delivered is less than the ordered quantity, and this difference exceeds the defined underdelivery tolerance.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Underdelivery Tolerance Settings:
  
  Navigate to the configuration settings for underdelivery tolerance in the SAP system (Transaction code: OVA2 for sales order types).
  Review and adjust the underdelivery tolerance settings for the relevant sales order type or material.
  
  
  
  Review Sales Order:
  
  Check the sales order in question (Transaction code: VA03) to see the ordered quantity and the delivered quantity.
  If the delivered quantity is indeed less than the ordered quantity, verify if the underdelivery tolerance allows for this difference.
  
  
  
  Adjust Delivery Quantity:
  
  If possible, adjust the delivery quantity to meet the required amount within the tolerance limits.
  If the delivery cannot be adjusted, consider discussing with the relevant stakeholders to determine if an exception can be made.
  
  
  
  Material Master Review:
  
  Check the material master record (Transaction code: MM03) for the item in question to ensure that the underdelivery tolerance settings are appropriate.
