• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMB/DM_DLV218 - ASN &1, item &2: product change; check handling units ?

  The SAP error message /SCMB/DM_DLV218 typically indicates an issue related to Advanced Shipping Notifications (ASN) in the Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. The message suggests that there is a product change for a specific item in the ASN, and it prompts the user to check the handling units associated with that item.
  Cause:
  
  
  Product Change: The error usually arises when there is a change in the product details (like product number, description, or other attributes) after the ASN has been created. This could happen if the product was modified in the system after the ASN was generated.
  
  
  Handling Units: The handling units (HUs) associated with the ASN may not match the current product details. This can occur if the handling units were created based on outdated product information.
  
  
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies between the ASN data and the actual product data in the system, leading to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Product Details: Verify the product details in the system to ensure that they are correct and up-to-date. Look for any recent changes that may have been made to the product.
  
  
  Review ASN and Handling Units: Check the ASN and the associated handling units to ensure that they correspond to the current product information. If there are discrepancies, you may need to update the ASN or the handling units.
  
  
  Recreate ASN: If the product change is significant and cannot be reconciled, consider recreating the ASN with the updated product information. This may involve deleting the existing ASN and creating a new one.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling ASNs and product changes in your version of SAP.

  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SCMB/ASN for managing ASNs and /SCMB/HU for handling units.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to ASN handling and product changes that may provide additional insights or patches.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the appropriate permissions to view and modify ASNs and handling units in the system.
