• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMB/DM_DLV220 - ASN &1 item &2: Ref. purch. order &3/&4 is not confirmed; ASN not allowed ?

  The SAP error message /SCMB/DM_DLV220 indicates that there is an issue with the Advanced Shipping Notification (ASN) process in the Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. Specifically, the error states that the reference purchase order is not confirmed, which prevents the ASN from being processed.
  Cause:
  
  Unconfirmed Purchase Order: The primary cause of this error is that the purchase order referenced in the ASN is not confirmed. This means that the system does not recognize the purchase order as valid for processing the ASN.
  Incorrect Status: The purchase order may be in a status that does not allow for ASN processing, such as being in a "Draft" or "Blocked" state.
  Data Entry Errors: There may be data entry errors in the ASN or the purchase order, such as incorrect item numbers or purchase order numbers.
  Missing or Incorrect Delivery Information: The delivery information associated with the ASN may be incomplete or incorrect.
  
  Solution:
  
  Confirm the Purchase Order: Check the status of the referenced purchase order in the system. If it is not confirmed, you will need to confirm it. This can typically be done in the purchasing module by accessing the purchase order and confirming it.
  Check Purchase Order Status: Ensure that the purchase order is in a status that allows for ASN processing. If it is blocked or in a draft state, resolve those issues first.
  Verify ASN Data: Double-check the ASN data for accuracy. Ensure that the purchase order number, item number, and any other relevant details are correct.
  Consult with Procurement: If you are unable to confirm the purchase order or if there are issues with its status, consult with the procurement team to resolve any underlying issues.
  Review Configuration: If the issue persists, review the configuration settings related to ASN processing in your SAP system to ensure that everything is set up correctly.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes such as ME23N (Display Purchase Order) to check the status of the purchase order or /SCMB/ASN (Advanced Shipping Notification) to manage ASN entries.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for detailed information on ASN processing and purchase order management in SCM.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully process the ASN.
