• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMB/DM_DLV187 - ASN Item &1: notified qty &2 is greater than qty due &3 (tolerance: &4) ?

  The SAP error message /SCMB/DM_DLV187 indicates that there is a discrepancy between the notified quantity of an Advanced Shipping Notification (ASN) item and the quantity that is actually due for delivery. Specifically, the error states that the notified quantity is greater than the quantity due, which is not acceptable according to the defined tolerances.
  Cause:
  
  Mismatch in Quantities: The ASN item has a notified quantity that exceeds the quantity that is expected or due for delivery.
  Tolerance Settings: The system has tolerance settings that restrict the allowed variance between the notified quantity and the due quantity. If the notified quantity exceeds the due quantity by more than the allowed tolerance, this error will be triggered.
  Data Entry Errors: There may have been an error during data entry, leading to incorrect quantities being reported in the ASN.
  Changes in Order Quantity: If the order quantity was changed after the ASN was created, it could lead to this discrepancy.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review ASN Details: Check the ASN details to verify the notified quantity and the due quantity. Ensure that the quantities are correctly entered.
  Adjust Notified Quantity: If the notified quantity is indeed incorrect, adjust it to match the due quantity or within the allowed tolerance limits.
  Check Tolerance Settings: Review the tolerance settings in the system to see if they need to be adjusted. This can be done in the configuration settings for the relevant module.
  Communicate with Suppliers: If the ASN was generated by a supplier, communicate with them to ensure they are aware of the correct quantities and to rectify any discrepancies.
  Recreate ASN: If necessary, you may need to cancel the existing ASN and create a new one with the correct quantities.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like VL03N (Display Outbound Delivery) or VL02N (Change Outbound Delivery) to review and modify delivery documents.
  Configuration Settings: The tolerance settings can typically be found in the configuration under Logistics Execution or Supply Chain Management, depending on your SAP version.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation or your organization's internal documentation for specific guidelines on handling ASNs and related error messages.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that the ASN quantities are aligned with the expected delivery quantities.
