• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PK221 - Schedule line cannot be changed (GR aleady posted) ?

  The SAP error message PK221 ("Schedule line cannot be changed (GR already posted)") typically occurs in the context of materials management and logistics when you attempt to change a schedule line in a purchase order or a sales order after goods receipt (GR) has already been posted for that schedule line. This is a protective measure in SAP to maintain data integrity and prevent inconsistencies in inventory and accounting records.
  
  Cause:
  
  Goods Receipt Posted: The primary cause of this error is that a goods receipt has already been posted against the schedule line you are trying to change. Once a GR is posted, the system locks the schedule line to prevent modifications that could lead to discrepancies in inventory and financial records.
  Document Flow: The document flow in SAP is designed to maintain a clear and accurate record of transactions. Changing a schedule line after a GR can disrupt this flow.
