• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RFM_MANAGE_EXC_REQ018 - Open Quantity for Delivery (%) is not relevant for Account Assigned SO. ?

  The SAP error message RFM_MANAGE_EXC_REQ018 indicates that there is an issue with the open quantity for a delivery that is not relevant for an account-assigned sales order (SO). This typically occurs in scenarios where the sales order is linked to a cost object (like a project or internal order) rather than a standard inventory item.
  Cause:
  
  Account Assignment: The sales order is account-assigned, meaning it is linked to a specific cost object (e.g., a project or internal order). In such cases, the system does not allow for open quantities to be managed in the same way as standard sales orders.
  Delivery Processing: The delivery process is trying to reference quantities that are not applicable for account-assigned sales orders, leading to this error.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that are not aligned with the requirements for handling account-assigned sales orders.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Sales Order Type: Verify that the sales order type is correctly set up for account assignment. Ensure that the sales order is intended to be account-assigned and that the relevant settings are in place.
  Review Delivery Process: Ensure that the delivery process is appropriate for the type of sales order. If the sales order is account-assigned, you may need to handle the delivery differently, possibly by using a different process or transaction.
  Adjust Configuration: If necessary, consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings related to account assignment and delivery processing. They may need to adjust the configuration to allow for the correct handling of open quantities.
  Use Alternative Transactions: If the delivery cannot be processed as intended, consider using alternative transactions or methods to fulfill the sales order, such as creating a billing document directly if applicable.
  
  Related Information:
