• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message O1021 - & qty. by & & > & qty.,overdel.permitted ?

  The SAP error message O1021 typically indicates an issue related to inventory management, specifically concerning the quantity of goods being processed in relation to the allowed over-delivery percentage. The message format you provided suggests that there is a discrepancy between the quantity being delivered and the quantity that is permitted based on the over-delivery settings.
  Cause:
  
  Over-Delivery Tolerance: The error usually arises when the quantity being delivered exceeds the allowed over-delivery percentage set in the material master or in the purchase order.
  Configuration Settings: The settings for over-delivery tolerance might not be configured correctly in the system, leading to this error when attempting to process a delivery that exceeds the allowed limits.
  Purchase Order Settings: The specific purchase order may have restrictions on over-delivery that are being violated by the current delivery attempt.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Settings:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) and check the purchasing view for the over-delivery tolerance settings. Ensure that the over-delivery percentage is set appropriately.
  
  
  
  Review Purchase Order:
  
  Check the purchase order (transaction code ME23N) to see if there are any specific over-delivery tolerances set. If necessary, adjust the purchase order to allow for a higher over-delivery percentage.
  
  
  
  Adjust Delivery Quantity:
  
  If the delivery quantity exceeds the allowed limit, consider adjusting the delivery quantity to comply with the over-delivery tolerance.
  
  
  
  Consult with Configuration Team:
  
  If the settings seem correct but the error persists, consult with your SAP configuration team to ensure that the system settings are aligned with business requirements.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
  
  Use transaction codes like ME21N (Create Purchase Order) or ME22N (Change Purchase Order) to modify the purchase order settings if needed.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Over-Delivery Tolerance: This is a percentage that allows for a certain amount of excess delivery beyond what was ordered. It is typically set in the material master and can vary by material type or vendor.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on managing over-delivery tolerances and related settings.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If custom logic is required, consider using user exits or Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) to implement specific business rules regarding over-delivery.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the O1021 error and ensure that your delivery processes align with the configured tolerances in SAP.
