• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY421 - PPF: Partial goods issue posted successfully ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY421 PPF: Partial goods issue posted successfully typically indicates that a partial goods issue has been successfully posted in the system, but it may not be the expected outcome for the user or process. This message is often related to the Post Processing Framework (PPF) in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) and can occur during the delivery process.
  Cause:
  
  Partial Delivery: The most common cause of this message is that the system has processed a partial delivery of goods rather than a complete one. This can happen if the quantity of goods available for delivery is less than the quantity requested.
  Stock Availability: There may not be enough stock available in the warehouse to fulfill the entire delivery request.
  Configuration Settings: The system may be configured to allow partial deliveries, which can lead to this message being generated when a partial goods issue is posted.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Stock Levels: Verify the stock levels in the warehouse to ensure that there is enough inventory to fulfill the entire delivery. If stock is insufficient, consider replenishing it.
  Review Delivery Document: Check the delivery document to see if it was intended to be a partial delivery. If not, you may need to adjust the delivery quantity or create a new delivery for the remaining quantity.
  Adjust PPF Settings: If partial deliveries are not desired, review the PPF settings in the system to see if they can be adjusted to prevent partial postings.
  Post Remaining Quantity: If a partial goods issue is acceptable, ensure that the remaining quantity is posted in a subsequent transaction.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on handling partial deliveries and PPF settings.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues or provide updates related to this error message.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SCWM/PRDI (for processing deliveries) and /SCWM/PRDI (for managing stock).
