  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCDL/BO_ACTION020 - Goods movement posted ?

    The SAP error message /SCDL/BO_ACTION020 Goods movement posted typically indicates that a goods movement has already been posted for a particular transaction or item, and therefore, the system is preventing any further actions that would duplicate this posting. This error is often encountered in the context of inventory management or logistics processes within SAP.

    Cause:

    2. Review Transaction Details: Ensure that you are not trying to post a duplicate entry. If you need to make changes, consider using the appropriate transaction for adjustments (e.g., MB1A, MB1B, or MB1C for different types of adjustments).
    3. Consult with Your Team: If you are unsure about the status of the goods movement, consult with your inventory management or logistics team to clarify the situation.
