• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMB/DM_DLV196 - ASN &1: notified quantity &2 is lesser than qty due &3 (tolerance: &4) ?

  The SAP error message /SCMB/DM_DLV196 indicates that there is a discrepancy between the notified quantity in an Advanced Shipping Notification (ASN) and the expected quantity due for delivery. Specifically, the error states that the notified quantity is less than the quantity that is due, and it also references a tolerance level.
  Cause:
  
  Notified Quantity: The quantity that the supplier has reported in the ASN is less than what the system expects to receive.
  Expected Quantity: This is the quantity that was originally planned or ordered in the system.
  Tolerance Level: SAP allows for a certain tolerance level for discrepancies. If the difference between the notified quantity and the expected quantity exceeds this tolerance, the error is triggered.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  Check ASN Details: Review the ASN to ensure that the notified quantity is correct. Verify with the supplier if necessary.
  Review Expected Quantity: Check the expected quantity in the system to ensure it is accurate and reflects what was ordered.
  Adjust Tolerance Settings: If the discrepancy is within acceptable limits but exceeds the tolerance, consider adjusting the tolerance settings in the system. This can be done in the configuration settings for the relevant delivery or shipping process.
  Update ASN: If the notified quantity is indeed correct and the expected quantity needs to be adjusted, update the ASN in the system to reflect the correct quantities.
  Communicate with Supplier: If the notified quantity is less than expected, communicate with the supplier to understand the reason for the shortfall and determine if a new ASN needs to be issued.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like VL32N (Change Outbound Delivery) or VL03N (Display Outbound Delivery) to review and modify delivery documents.
  Configuration Settings: The tolerance levels can typically be configured in the SAP system under the relevant logistics or shipping settings. This may require access to the SPRO configuration menu.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for more detailed information on handling ASNs and delivery discrepancies.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
