  • Message text: Withdrawal posting to batch totals record is not possible

  • Show details Hide details
  • What causes this issue?

    A withdrawal posting for a reservation that is marked as a batch totals
    record is not possible because withdrawal postings for batch splits can
    only take place with reference to split records.
    This situation can arise when the batch totals record and the split
    records were only created after the confirmation &V1& / &V2&. The goods
    movements from the confirmation either failed or were preselected for
    processing in the background job.

    System Response

    The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

    How to fix this error?

    Cancel the confirmation &V1& / &V2& of the order &V3& and then create
    it again.
    If necessary first check the goods movements for the original
    confirmation to be able to take into account changes to the planned
    goods movements (changing storage location, batch, unplanned
    withdrawals). As a result of the deletion these pieces of information
    can be lost.
