• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMB/DM_DLV068 - Change the delivery date in the shipment, not in the ASN ?

  The SAP error message /SCMB/DM_DLV068 indicates that there is an issue with changing the delivery date in the Advanced Shipping Notification (ASN) rather than in the shipment itself. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) when there is a mismatch between the delivery date specified in the ASN and the delivery date in the shipment document.
  Cause:
  
  Mismatch of Dates: The delivery date in the ASN does not match the delivery date in the shipment. SAP expects that any changes to the delivery date should be made in the shipment document rather than the ASN.
  Data Integrity Rules: SAP enforces data integrity rules to ensure that the ASN and shipment data remain consistent. Changing the delivery date in the ASN can lead to discrepancies in the logistics process.
  Configuration Settings: There may be specific configuration settings in the SAP system that dictate how delivery dates are managed between ASNs and shipments.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Change the Delivery Date in the Shipment:
  
  Navigate to the shipment document in SAP.
  Update the delivery date in the shipment to the desired date.
  Ensure that the ASN reflects this change if necessary.
  
  
  
  Recreate ASN if Necessary:
  
  If the ASN is already created and cannot be modified, you may need to create a new ASN with the correct delivery date after updating the shipment.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration Settings:
  
  Review the configuration settings related to ASN and shipment processing in SAP SCM. Ensure that the settings align with your business processes.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on handling ASNs and shipments.
