How To Fix RU496 - Withdrawal posting to batch totals record is not possible

RU496 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RU - Messages for order completion confirmation

• Message number: 496

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

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.
