• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/SHP_RCV549 - Invoice before goods issue status for ERP delivery &1 reset ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/SHP_RCV549 indicates that there is an issue with the invoicing process in relation to the goods issue status for an ERP delivery. Specifically, this error occurs when an attempt is made to create or process an invoice for a delivery that has not yet been marked as "goods issue" in the system. 
  Cause:
  
  Goods Issue Not Completed: The primary cause of this error is that the goods issue for the delivery has not been completed. In SAP, the goods issue must be processed before an invoice can be created.
  Delivery Status: The delivery status may not be set to a state that allows invoicing. If the delivery is still in a status that does not permit invoicing, this error will occur.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that prevent invoicing before the goods issue is completed.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Complete Goods Issue: Ensure that the goods issue for the delivery has been completed. You can do this by checking the delivery document in the system and confirming that the goods issue has been processed.
  
  Navigate to the delivery document in the SAP system.
  Check the status of the delivery and ensure that the goods issue has been posted.
  
  
  
  Check Delivery Status: Verify the status of the delivery. If the delivery is still in a status that does not allow invoicing, you may need to change the status or complete the necessary steps to allow invoicing.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If the issue persists, review the configuration settings related to the invoicing and goods issue processes. Ensure that the system is set up to allow invoicing only after the goods issue has been completed.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific details related to your system configuration and any additional steps that may be required.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes such as VL02N (Change Outbound Delivery) to check the delivery status or MIGO (Goods Movement) to process the goods issue.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that the user attempting to create the invoice has the necessary authorizations to perform the goods issue and invoicing processes.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully create the invoice after the goods issue has been processed.
