Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMB/DM_DLV185 - You cannot cancel; ASN &1 has acceptance status "Pending" ?

  The SAP error message /SCMB/DM_DLV185 indicates that you are trying to cancel an Advanced Shipping Notification (ASN) that has an acceptance status of "Pending." This means that the ASN has not yet been accepted by the receiving party, and therefore, it cannot be canceled at this stage.
  Cause:
  
  ASN Status: The ASN is in a "Pending" acceptance status, which means it is awaiting confirmation or acceptance from the receiving party.
  Business Process: The system is designed to prevent cancellations of ASNs that are still in the process of being accepted to maintain data integrity and avoid confusion in logistics operations.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check ASN Status: Verify the current status of the ASN in the system. If it is indeed "Pending," you will need to wait until the receiving party accepts the ASN.
  Contact Receiving Party: If you have control over the receiving party, reach out to them to expedite the acceptance process.
  Change ASN Status: If you have the necessary permissions and it is appropriate to do so, you may be able to change the status of the ASN to allow for cancellation. This typically involves administrative actions and should be done with caution.
  Review Business Processes: Ensure that your business processes align with the system's requirements for ASN handling. If frequent cancellations are needed, consider reviewing the workflow to minimize the need for cancellations.
  
  Related Information:
