• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PMMO_MM_INTEGRATION046 - Original group transfer reversal cannot be posted with assigned WBS ?

  The SAP error message PMMO_MM_INTEGRATION046, which states that "Original group transfer reversal cannot be posted with assigned WBS," typically occurs in the context of Material Management (MM) and Project System (PS) integration. This error indicates that there is an issue with the posting of a reversal for a group transfer that is linked to a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) element.
  Cause:
  
  WBS Assignment: The error often arises when the original document (e.g., a goods movement or transfer posting) is associated with a WBS element, and the system does not allow the reversal of that document due to the WBS assignment.
  Document Type Restrictions: Certain document types may have restrictions on reversals when they are linked to WBS elements.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that prevent the reversal of transactions associated with WBS elements.
  Status of WBS Element: The WBS element may be in a status that does not allow for further postings or reversals.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check WBS Assignment: Verify if the WBS element is correctly assigned and if it is in a status that allows for reversals. If the WBS element is locked or in a closed status, you may need to change its status or use a different WBS element.
  Use Correct Document Type: Ensure that you are using the correct document type for the reversal. Some document types may not support reversals for WBS-related transactions.
  Consult Configuration: Review the configuration settings in the SAP system related to MM and PS integration. You may need to consult with your SAP configuration team to ensure that the settings allow for the desired transactions.
  Manual Adjustment: If the automatic reversal is not possible, consider manually adjusting the entries or using alternative methods to correct the postings.
  SAP Notes and Support: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error. SAP Notes often provide solutions or workarounds for known issues.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MB1A (Goods Withdrawal), MB1B (Transfer Posting), and CJ20N (Project Builder) to manage WBS and material movements.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to MM and PS integration for best practices and guidelines on handling WBS-related transactions.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that the user attempting the reversal has the necessary authorizations to perform the action on the WBS element.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to engage with SAP support or your internal SAP team for further investigation and resolution.
