How To Fix RU130 - Goods movement could not be posted in the background

RU130 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RU - Messages for order completion confirmation

• Message number: 130

• Message text: Goods movement could not be posted in the background

What causes this issue?

When posting goods movements in the confirmation update, the goods
movements to be posted are first saved for security in table AFFW. In a
further step of the update routine, goods movements processing takes
place using the functions in inventory management. If no errors are
found here then the relevant entries are then deleted in the table
AFFW.
If errors occur, that is, if the functions of inventory management
cannot be carried out then only the AFFW entries remain. These goods
movements that have not been carried out can be posted using the online
transaction COGI (reprocessing of failed goods movements) or using the
background job for automatic goods movements (programs CORUPROC or
CORUAFWP).
