• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MILL_OC079 - You cannot post goods receipts for combined orders ?

  The SAP error message MILL_OC079, which states "You cannot post goods receipts for combined orders," typically occurs in the context of the SAP system when dealing with goods receipts for production orders or purchase orders that have been combined. This error can arise due to several reasons related to the configuration of the orders or the way they are processed.
  Causes:
  
  
  Combined Orders: The error often occurs when you are trying to post a goods receipt for a combined order. Combined orders are those that have been merged for processing, and the system does not allow goods receipts to be posted for them individually.
  
  
  Order Status: The status of the order may not allow for goods receipts. For example, if the order is already completed or has been set to a status that does not permit further postings.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that restrict posting goods receipts for combined orders.
  
  
  Material Management Settings: The settings in the Material Management (MM) module may not allow for the posting of goods receipts under certain conditions.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Order Type: Verify if the order you are trying to post a goods receipt for is indeed a combined order. If it is, you may need to post the goods receipt for the individual orders that were combined.
  
  
  Review Order Status: Check the status of the order. If the order is completed or in a status that does not allow for goods receipts, you may need to change the status or create a new order.
  
  
  Use the Correct Transaction: Ensure that you are using the correct transaction code for posting goods receipts. For example, use MIGO for goods movements and ensure you are selecting the right options.
  
  
  Consult Configuration: If you have access, check the configuration settings in the SAP system related to order management and goods receipts. You may need to consult with your SAP administrator or a functional consultant to adjust these settings.
