• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCA/SDPR_INTERNAL074 - Quantity in removed PO '&1'/'&2' corrupts quantity in release '&3'/'&4' ?

  The SAP error message /SCA/SDPR_INTERNAL074 indicates that there is a corruption in the quantity data between a removed Purchase Order (PO) and a related release. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Supply Chain Management (SCM) or Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) modules, where the system is trying to reconcile quantities between different documents.
  Cause:
  
  
  Data Inconsistency: The error usually arises when there is a mismatch or inconsistency in the quantity data between the removed PO and the associated release. This can happen due to:
  
  Manual changes made to the PO or release that were not properly synchronized.
  Deletion of a PO that is still referenced in a release.
  Errors during data transfer or updates between systems (e.g., between SAP ERP and SAP SCM).
  
  
  
  System Bugs: Occasionally, this error can be triggered by bugs in the SAP system or issues with specific versions of the software.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Data Consistency:
  
  Verify the status of the removed PO and the release. Ensure that the quantities are correctly reflected in both documents.
  Use transaction codes like ME23N (Display Purchase Order) and ME2N (Purchase Orders by PO Number) to check the details of the POs and releases.
  
  
  
  Recreate the PO or Release:
  
  If the PO is no longer needed, consider recreating the release without referencing the removed PO.
  If the release is still valid, you may need to create a new PO that correctly reflects the required quantities.
  
  
  
  Use SAP Notes:
  
  Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that address this specific error. There may be patches or updates available that resolve known issues.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Support:
  
  If the issue persists, it may be necessary to contact SAP Support for further assistance. Provide them with the error message details and any relevant transaction logs.
  
  
  
  Data Cleanup:
  
  In some cases, a data cleanup process may be required to remove any orphaned or inconsistent records in the database.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes for managing POs and releases, such as ME21N (Create Purchase Order), ME22N (Change Purchase Order), and ME23N (Display Purchase Order).
  SAP Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to the specific modules you are using (e.g., SCM, APO) for best practices on managing POs and releases.
  User Forums: Engage with SAP community forums or user groups where similar issues may have been discussed, and solutions shared.
