• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY813 - Goods issue reversal not possible for outbound delivery order &1 ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY813 indicates that a goods issue reversal is not possible for the specified outbound delivery order. This error typically arises in the context of the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when trying to reverse a goods issue for an outbound delivery that has already been processed.
  Causes:
  
  
  Status of the Outbound Delivery: The outbound delivery may be in a status that does not allow for reversal. For example, if the delivery has already been fully processed, invoiced, or if it has been picked and packed, the system may prevent reversal.
  
  
  Document Flow: If there are subsequent documents created (like billing documents or goods movements) that depend on the outbound delivery, the system will not allow a reversal to maintain data integrity.
  
  
  Warehouse Management Settings: Certain settings in the warehouse management configuration may restrict the ability to reverse goods issues.
  
  
  Stock Type: The stock type of the items in the outbound delivery may also affect the ability to reverse the goods issue. For example, if the stock is in a blocked or quality inspection status, reversal may not be allowed.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Delivery Status: Review the status of the outbound delivery order. If it is completed or has subsequent documents, you may need to cancel or reverse those documents first.
  
  
  Use Correct Transaction: Ensure that you are using the correct transaction code for reversing the goods issue. The transaction code for reversing a goods issue in EWM is typically /SCWM/GR or similar, depending on your system configuration.
  
  
  Consult with Logistics Team: If the delivery has been invoiced or if there are other dependencies, consult with your logistics or finance team to determine the best course of action.
  
  
  Adjust Warehouse Management Settings: If necessary, review and adjust the warehouse management settings to allow for the reversal of goods issues, if this is appropriate for your business processes.
  
  
  Manual Adjustments: In some cases, manual adjustments may be required in the inventory or accounting records to reflect the reversal if the system does not allow it.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SCWM/GR, /SCWM/DELIVERY, and others that pertain to outbound delivery processing.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
