• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCA/SDPR_INTERNAL011 - Open quantity in sched. line &1/&2/&3/&4 marked 'overdue past period' ?

  The SAP error message /SCA/SDPR_INTERNAL011 indicates that there is an issue with the scheduling of a sales order or a related document. Specifically, it refers to an open quantity in a scheduling line that is marked as "overdue past period." This typically means that the system has detected that there are quantities that should have been delivered or processed by a certain date, but they have not been, leading to a status of overdue.
  Cause:
  
  Overdue Deliveries: The most common cause is that the delivery date for the scheduled line has passed, and there are still open quantities that have not been fulfilled.
  Incorrect Scheduling: There may be issues with how the scheduling is set up in the sales order or related documents, such as incorrect lead times or delivery dates.
  Stock Availability: There may be insufficient stock available to fulfill the scheduled line, leading to delays.
  Planning Issues: If the system is using planning tools (like MRP), there may be issues with how the planning is set up or executed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Delivery Dates: Review the delivery dates for the sales order and the scheduling lines. If they are incorrect, update them to reflect the correct dates.
  Fulfill Open Quantities: If possible, fulfill the open quantities by creating deliveries or adjusting stock levels.
  Adjust Scheduling: If the scheduling is incorrect, you may need to adjust the scheduling parameters or settings in the sales order.
  Review Stock Levels: Check the stock levels to ensure that there is enough inventory to fulfill the orders. If stock is low, consider placing a purchase order or production order to replenish stock.
  Run MRP: If applicable, run the Material Requirements Planning (MRP) process to ensure that all requirements are being met and that the system is aware of any changes in stock levels or demand.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support for specific details related to your version of SAP and the configuration of your system.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may want to use transaction codes like VA03 (Display Sales Order), VL03N (Display Outbound Delivery), or MD04 (Stock/Requirements List) to investigate the issue further.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  User Exits and Enhancements: If your organization has custom enhancements or user exits, check if they might be affecting the scheduling logic.
