• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RM204 - No PAUF overdelivery possible if goods issue posting is decoupled ?

  The SAP error message RM204 "No PAUF overdelivery possible if goods issue posting is decoupled" typically occurs in the context of production orders or process orders when there is an attempt to post an overdelivery of goods against a production order, but the system settings do not allow it due to the decoupling of goods issue posting.
  Cause:
  
  Decoupled Goods Issue: The error arises when the goods issue posting is decoupled from the production order. This means that the system is configured in such a way that it does not allow overdelivery for the goods issued against the production order.
  Order Type Settings: The order type settings may not permit overdelivery. This is often controlled by the configuration in the production order settings.
  Material Master Settings: The material master record may have settings that restrict overdelivery.
  Stock Type: The stock type (e.g., unrestricted, quality inspection) may also affect the ability to post overdeliveries.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings for the production order type in the SAP system. Ensure that the settings allow for overdelivery if that is the desired behavior.
  
  Transaction Code: OPL8 (for production order types)
  Look for the "Overdelivery" settings and adjust them if necessary.
  
  
  
  Goods Issue Posting: If the goods issue is decoupled, consider whether it is necessary to couple it back to the production order. This may involve changing the settings in the production order or the way goods issues are processed.
  
  
  Material Master Review: Check the material master settings for the materials involved in the production order. Ensure that the overdelivery tolerances are set appropriately.
  
  Transaction Code: MM03 (to view material master)
  
  
  
  Stock Type Consideration: Ensure that the stock type being used allows for overdelivery. If necessary, adjust the stock type or the way materials are managed in the system.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidance related to your system configuration and business processes.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on configuration settings.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If your organization has custom developments, check if there are any user exits or BAdIs that might be influencing the behavior of goods issue postings.
  Testing: After making any changes, conduct thorough testing to ensure that the changes resolve the issue without introducing new problems.
