• Message number: 204

What causes this issue?

Receipts cannot be set with a handling surcharge. Goods receipts are
for the settlement of the leading document, that is, the system does
not cumulate figures. It is therefore pointless to maintain split
indicators or surcharge indicators for receipt movement types.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MRER204 - Do not enter any movement types for receipts ?

  The SAP error message MRER204 ("Do not enter any movement types for receipts") typically occurs in the context of inventory management and goods receipt processing. This error indicates that the system is preventing the entry of movement types that are not allowed for the specific transaction you are trying to perform.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Movement Type: The movement type you are trying to use is not valid for the goods receipt process. In SAP, different movement types are associated with different types of inventory transactions (e.g., goods receipt, goods issue, transfer postings).
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the system may restrict certain movement types for specific transactions. This could be due to settings in the movement type configuration or the material type settings.
  Transaction Context: The error may arise if you are trying to perform a goods receipt for a purchase order or a production order and have inadvertently entered a movement type that is not applicable for that context.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Movement Type: Ensure that you are using the correct movement type for the goods receipt. Common movement types for goods receipts include:

  111: Goods receipt for stock transfer
  501: Goods receipt for return delivery
  Make sure you are not entering a movement type that is meant for goods issues or other transactions.
