• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMB/DM_DLV177 - ASN &1 item &2: referenced doc. &3/&4 contains different ship-to party ?

  The SAP error message /SCMB/DM_DLV177 indicates that there is a mismatch in the ship-to party information between the Advanced Shipping Notification (ASN) and the referenced document (such as a sales order or delivery). This error typically arises in the context of supply chain management and logistics when the system detects that the ship-to party in the ASN does not match the ship-to party in the associated document.
  Cause:
  
  Mismatch in Ship-to Party: The ASN is referencing a document (like a sales order or delivery) that has a different ship-to party than what is specified in the ASN.
  Data Entry Errors: There may have been an error during data entry, leading to incorrect ship-to party information being entered in either the ASN or the referenced document.
  Changes in Orders: If the ship-to party was changed in the sales order or delivery after the ASN was created, this could lead to a mismatch.
  System Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the SAP system that are causing the mismatch.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify Ship-to Party Information: Check the ASN and the referenced document to ensure that the ship-to party information matches. You can do this by:
  
  Navigating to the ASN and checking the ship-to party details.
  Accessing the referenced document (e.g., sales order or delivery) and verifying the ship-to party.
  
  
  
  Correct the Mismatch: If a mismatch is found:
  
  Update the ASN to reflect the correct ship-to party if the ASN is incorrect.
  Alternatively, if the referenced document is incorrect, update the document to match the ASN.
  
  
  
  Recreate ASN: If the ASN is significantly out of sync with the referenced document, it may be easier to delete the existing ASN and create a new one with the correct ship-to party information.
  
  
  Check for Changes: If the ship-to party was changed after the ASN was created, ensure that all relevant documents are updated accordingly.
  
  
  Consult with IT or SAP Support: If the issue persists or if you suspect a system configuration issue, consult with your IT department or SAP support for further assistance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes such as VL03N (Display Outbound Delivery) or VA03 (Display Sales Order) to view the relevant documents.

  Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to ASN processing and ship-to party configurations for best practices and guidelines.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that the ASN and referenced documents are aligned correctly.
