• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMB/DM_DLV212 - ASN &1, item &2: notified quantity is greater than open qty in release ?

  The SAP error message /SCMB/DM_DLV212 ASN &1, item &2: notified quantity is greater than open qty in release typically occurs in the context of Advanced Shipping Notification (ASN) processing within the Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. This error indicates that the quantity being notified in the ASN exceeds the quantity that is still open or available in the corresponding release order.
  Cause:
  
  
  Mismatch in Quantities: The ASN is trying to notify a quantity that is greater than what was originally ordered or what is still open in the release. This can happen due to:
  
  Errors in data entry when creating the ASN.
  Changes in the order quantities that were not reflected in the ASN.
  Incorrect configuration or settings in the system that allow for such discrepancies.
  
  
  
  Order Changes: If the original order was modified (e.g., reduced in quantity) after the ASN was created, the ASN may still reflect the old quantity.
  
  
  Multiple ASNs: If multiple ASNs are being processed for the same order, the cumulative notified quantities may exceed the open quantity.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify ASN Data: Check the ASN details to ensure that the notified quantity matches the open quantity in the release order. Adjust the ASN quantity if necessary.
  
  
  Check Release Order: Review the release order to confirm the open quantity. If the order has been modified, update the ASN accordingly.
  
  
  Adjust ASN Quantity: If the ASN quantity is indeed greater than the open quantity, you will need to either:
  
  Reduce the ASN quantity to match the open quantity.
  If the ASN is correct and the release order needs to be updated, consider adjusting the release order to reflect the correct quantities.
  
  
  
  Consult with Stakeholders: If there are discrepancies, consult with relevant stakeholders (e.g., procurement, logistics) to understand the reason for the mismatch and to ensure that all parties are aligned on the quantities.
  
  
  System Configuration: If this issue occurs frequently, it may be worth reviewing the system configuration and settings related to ASN processing to prevent such errors in the future.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like VL32N (Change Outbound Delivery) or VL03N (Display Outbound Delivery) to check the details of the delivery and ASN.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on ASN processing and error handling.
  Support: If the issue persists and cannot be resolved through the above steps, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
