• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PMMO_MM_INTEGRATION013 - Consumption reversal cannot be posted without a reference document ?

  The SAP error message PMMO_MM_INTEGRATION013, which states "Consumption reversal cannot be posted without a reference document," typically occurs in the context of Material Management (MM) and Production Planning (PP) when attempting to reverse a consumption posting without a valid reference document.
  Cause:
  This error usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Missing Reference Document: The system requires a reference document (such as a production order, purchase order, or another relevant document) to perform the consumption reversal. If this document is not provided or is missing, the system will not allow the reversal.
  
  
  Incorrect Document Type: The document type being used for the reversal may not be compatible with the consumption reversal process.
  
  
  Document Status: The reference document may be in a status that does not allow for reversals, such as being completed or closed.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that are preventing the reversal from being processed correctly.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Reference Document: Ensure that you have the correct reference document available for the consumption reversal. This document should be the one that was originally used for the consumption posting.
  
  
  Use the Correct Transaction: Make sure you are using the appropriate transaction code for the reversal. For example, if you are reversing a goods movement, use the correct movement type.
  
  
  Review Document Status: Check the status of the reference document to ensure it is open and eligible for reversal. If the document is completed or closed, you may need to take additional steps to reopen it or adjust the status.
  
  
  Consult Configuration: If you suspect that configuration settings may be causing the issue, consult with your SAP MM/PP configuration team to review the settings related to consumption postings and reversals.
  
  
  Check for User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the reversal. Lack of proper permissions can also lead to errors.
  
  
  SAP Notes and Support: If the issue persists, check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error. You can search the SAP Support Portal for updates or patches that may resolve the issue.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MB1A (Goods Withdrawal), MB1B (Transfer Posting), and MB1C (Other Goods Receipts) that may be involved in the consumption and reversal processes.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to Material Management and Production Planning for detailed processes on consumption postings and reversals.
  Training: Consider training sessions or workshops on SAP MM/PP processes to better understand how to handle consumption and reversals effectively.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to successfully post the consumption reversal.
