• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RM184 - Actual-data entry will be posted (No material document will be generated) ?

  The SAP error message RM184 ("Actual-data entry will be posted (No material document will be generated)") typically occurs in the context of inventory management or production processes. This message indicates that while the actual data entry (such as a goods movement or production confirmation) is being processed, no material document will be generated for the transaction. This can happen for several reasons.
  Causes:
  
  
  No Stock Change: The transaction being processed does not result in a change in stock levels. For example, if you are confirming a production order that does not affect inventory (e.g., a confirmation of a process that does not involve physical goods movement).
  
  
  Configuration Settings: The system may be configured in such a way that certain transactions do not generate material documents. This can be due to specific settings in the material management or production planning modules.
  
  
  Document Type Settings: The document type used for the transaction may not be set up to generate material documents.
  
  
  Transaction Type: Certain transaction types, such as certain types of confirmations or adjustments, may not require a material document to be generated.
  
  
  User Authorizations: Lack of proper authorizations for the user performing the transaction may also lead to this message.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Review the Transaction: Check if the transaction you are trying to perform is supposed to generate a material document. If it is not intended to change stock levels, then this message is expected.
  
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings in the relevant modules (MM, PP) to ensure that the settings allow for material document generation where appropriate.
  
  
  Document Type Review: Verify the settings for the document type being used in the transaction. Ensure that it is configured to generate material documents if that is the desired behavior.
  
  
  User Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the transaction and generate material documents.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team to understand the specific conditions under which this message is triggered.
