• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/GOODS_MOVEMENT014 - Delivery &1, item &2: GR reversal no longer possible due to GR adj. &3 ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/GOODS_MOVEMENT014 indicates that a Goods Receipt (GR) reversal is not possible for a specific delivery and item due to a Goods Receipt adjustment. This typically occurs in the context of the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module in SAP.
  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when you attempt to reverse a Goods Receipt for a delivery item that has already been adjusted. The adjustment could be due to various reasons, such as:
  
  Stock Changes: The stock for the item has been adjusted after the initial Goods Receipt was posted.
  Inventory Management: There may have been subsequent inventory transactions that affect the stock level, making it impossible to reverse the original GR.
  Document Status: The status of the delivery or the associated documents may have changed, preventing the reversal.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Adjustment Document: Review the Goods Receipt adjustment document referenced in the error message. Understand what changes were made and why the reversal is being blocked.
  
  
  Review Stock Levels: Check the stock levels for the item in question. If there have been subsequent transactions that affect the stock, you may need to address those first.
  
  
  Consult with Inventory Management: If the item has been involved in other inventory transactions, consult with your inventory management team to understand the implications of reversing the GR.
  
  
  Use Alternative Methods: If a reversal is not possible, consider using alternative methods to correct the stock levels, such as posting a new Goods Movement or adjusting the inventory directly.
  
  
  Check Configuration: Ensure that the system configuration allows for GR reversals under the current circumstances. There may be settings that restrict reversals based on certain conditions.
  
  
  SAP Notes and Documentation: Look for relevant SAP Notes or documentation that may provide additional insights or solutions specific to your version of SAP EWM.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SCWM/GR for Goods Receipts and /SCWM/GRR for Goods Receipt Reversals.
  EWM Documentation: Review the SAP EWM documentation for detailed information on Goods Movement and related processes.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform Goods Receipt reversals and related transactions.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a technical consultant who specializes in SAP EWM for further assistance.
