• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SAPLWSPO146 - Underdelivery tolerance &1: minimum &2 has not been achieved ?

  The SAP error message SAPLWSPO146 indicates that there is an issue with underdelivery tolerance in a procurement or sales process. Specifically, it means that the minimum underdelivery tolerance specified for a particular item has not been met. This typically occurs in the context of purchase orders, sales orders, or delivery processes where the delivered quantity is less than the allowed underdelivery tolerance.
  Cause:
  
  Underdelivery Tolerance Settings: The underdelivery tolerance is defined in the material master or in the purchasing info record. If the delivered quantity is below the minimum threshold set for underdelivery tolerance, this error will occur.
  Delivery Quantity: The actual quantity delivered is less than the minimum quantity that is allowed to be delivered without triggering an error.
  Configuration Issues: There may be incorrect settings in the configuration of the material or the purchasing organization that do not align with the business requirements.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Settings:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) and check the underdelivery tolerance settings for the relevant material.
  Ensure that the underdelivery tolerance is set correctly according to your business requirements.
  
  
  
  Review Purchase Order or Sales Order:
  
  Check the purchase order or sales order to see the expected delivery quantity and compare it with the actual delivered quantity.
  If the delivered quantity is indeed less than the minimum allowed, you may need to adjust the order or negotiate with the supplier/customer.
  
  
  
  Adjust Tolerance Settings:
  
  If the current settings do not meet your business needs, consider adjusting the underdelivery tolerance in the material master or purchasing info record.
  This can be done in the configuration settings (transaction code SPRO) under the relevant purchasing or sales area.
  
  
  
  Consult with Stakeholders:
  
  Discuss with relevant stakeholders (e.g., procurement, sales, logistics) to understand if the underdelivery tolerance needs to be revised based on operational requirements.
  
  
  
  Error Handling:
  
  If the underdelivery is acceptable for a specific case, you may need to process the order manually or adjust the delivery to meet the required quantities.
