• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/INBO_VMI005 - Delivery &1, item &2: Delivery quantity different in IDOC and liveCache ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/INBO_VMI005 indicates a discrepancy between the delivery quantity in the IDoc (Intermediate Document) and the quantity stored in the liveCache for a specific delivery and item. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when dealing with Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) scenarios.
  Cause:
  
  
  Data Mismatch: The delivery quantity in the IDoc does not match the quantity that is currently stored in the liveCache. This can happen due to various reasons, such as:
  
  Manual changes made to the delivery quantity after the IDoc was generated.
  Errors during the IDoc processing that led to an incorrect update in the liveCache.
  Network issues or system delays that caused the IDoc to be processed before the liveCache was updated.
  
  
  
  IDoc Processing Issues: If the IDoc was not processed correctly or completely, it may lead to inconsistencies between the IDoc data and the liveCache.
  
  
  Concurrency Issues: If multiple processes are trying to update the same delivery simultaneously, it can lead to conflicts and discrepancies.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check IDoc Status: Use transaction WE02 or WE05 to check the status of the IDoc. Look for any errors or warnings that might indicate why the IDoc was not processed correctly.
  
  
  Compare Quantities: Manually compare the delivery quantity in the IDoc with the quantity in the liveCache. You can use transaction /SAPAPO/LOC3 to check the liveCache data.
  
  
  Reprocess IDoc: If the IDoc is found to be incorrect, you may need to correct the data and reprocess the IDoc. This can be done using transaction BD87 to reprocess the IDoc.
  
  
  Update LiveCache: If the liveCache is incorrect, you may need to update it manually or through a program that ensures the data is consistent.
  
  
  Check for Concurrency Issues: Investigate if there are any concurrent processes that might be causing the issue. Ensure that proper locking mechanisms are in place to prevent simultaneous updates.
  
  
  Consult Logs: Check the application logs for any additional error messages or warnings that could provide more context about the issue.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Search for relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide patches and updates.
  Documentation: Review the SAP APO documentation for VMI processes to understand how IDocs and liveCache interact.
