• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMB/DM_DLV210 - ASN &1: it is not permitted to set GR status with 'external validation' ?

  The SAP error message /SCMB/DM_DLV210 ASN &1: it is not permitted to set GR status with 'external validation' typically occurs in the context of Advanced Shipping Notification (ASN) processing within the Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. This error indicates that there is an issue with the Goods Receipt (GR) status being set when external validation is in place.
  Cause:
  
  
  External Validation: The error suggests that the system is configured to use external validation for the ASN, which means that the system expects the validation to be handled outside of the standard SAP processes. When external validation is active, certain actions, such as setting the GR status, may be restricted.
  
  
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the SCM module may not allow for the GR status to be set when external validation is enabled. This is often a deliberate design choice to ensure that the validation process is completed before any status changes are made.
  
  
  Process Flow Issues: There may be a misalignment in the process flow where the system is trying to set the GR status prematurely, before the external validation has been completed.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check External Validation Settings: Review the configuration settings related to external validation in your SAP system. Ensure that the settings align with your business processes and that the external validation is being handled correctly.
  
  
  Complete External Validation: Ensure that the external validation process is completed before attempting to set the GR status. This may involve checking with the external system or process that is responsible for the validation.
  
  
  Adjust Process Flow: If necessary, adjust the process flow to ensure that the GR status is only set after the external validation has been successfully completed.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidance on handling ASNs and external validation in your version of SAP SCM.
  
  
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your process to catch this error and provide feedback to users, guiding them on the necessary steps to resolve the issue.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional context on handling ASNs with external validation.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SCMB/ASN for managing ASNs and /SCMB/GR for handling Goods Receipts.
  User Exits and BAdIs: Explore user exits or Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) that may allow for customization of the ASN processing logic to better fit your business needs.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to engage with SAP support or a consultant who specializes in SCM to further diagnose and resolve the problem.
