• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMB/DM_DLV170 - ASN &1 item &2: product ctry of orig. &3/&4 does not match that in PO ?

  The SAP error message /SCMB/DM_DLV170 indicates a mismatch between the country of origin specified in the Advanced Shipping Notification (ASN) and the country of origin defined in the Purchase Order (PO) for a specific product. This error typically arises in the context of supply chain management and logistics within SAP systems, particularly when dealing with deliveries and shipments.
  Cause:
  
  Mismatch in Country of Origin: The country of origin for the product in the ASN does not match the country of origin specified in the corresponding PO.
  Data Entry Errors: Incorrect data entry when creating the ASN or PO can lead to discrepancies.
  Master Data Issues: The product master data may not be correctly maintained, leading to inconsistencies in the country of origin.
  Changes in Product Specifications: If the product's country of origin has changed after the PO was created, and the ASN reflects the new country, this can trigger the error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify the ASN and PO: Check both the ASN and the PO to ensure that the country of origin for the product matches in both documents.
  Update the ASN: If the ASN is incorrect, update it to reflect the correct country of origin that matches the PO.
  Correct the PO: If the PO is incorrect, you may need to update the PO to reflect the correct country of origin for the product.
  Review Master Data: Ensure that the product master data is accurate and up-to-date, particularly the country of origin field.
  Consult with Stakeholders: If there are discrepancies that cannot be resolved, consult with relevant stakeholders (e.g., procurement, logistics) to clarify the correct country of origin.
  Check for System Configurations: Ensure that there are no system configurations or settings that might be causing the mismatch.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like ME23N (Display Purchase Order) and /SCMB/DM_DLV (Delivery Management) to investigate the issue further.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for more details on handling ASN and PO discrepancies.
  User Exits or BAdIs: If this is a recurring issue, consider implementing user exits or Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) to enforce checks on country of origin during ASN creation.
  Training: Ensure that users involved in the creation of ASNs and POs are trained on the importance of maintaining accurate master data and the implications of mismatches.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that the ASN and PO are aligned correctly.
