• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SPC02810 - Shipping notification & exists; change to purchase order & & not allowed ?

  The SAP error message SPC02810 indicates that there is an issue with the shipping notification process in relation to a purchase order. Specifically, the message states that a shipping notification exists, and changes to the associated purchase order are not allowed while that shipping notification is active.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in the following scenarios:
  
  Active Shipping Notification: A shipping notification has already been created for the purchase order, which locks the purchase order from being modified.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured to prevent changes to purchase orders once a shipping notification is generated to maintain data integrity.
  Workflow Processes: There may be ongoing processes or workflows that depend on the shipping notification, preventing changes to the purchase order.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Shipping Notification: Verify if there is indeed an active shipping notification for the purchase order in question. You can do this by checking the relevant transaction codes (e.g., ME23N for display purchase order).
  
  
  Cancel or Delete Shipping Notification: If the shipping notification is no longer needed or was created in error, you may need to cancel or delete it. This can typically be done through the transaction code for shipping notifications (e.g., VL02N for changing delivery).
  
  
  Modify Purchase Order: Once the shipping notification is canceled or deleted, you should be able to make the necessary changes to the purchase order.
  
  
  Consult with Your SAP Administrator: If you are unsure about the implications of deleting a shipping notification or if you do not have the necessary permissions, consult with your SAP administrator or a colleague who has experience with SAP logistics processes.
  
  
  Review Configuration Settings: If this issue occurs frequently, it may be worth reviewing the configuration settings in your SAP system to determine if the restrictions on changing purchase orders with active shipping notifications are appropriate for your business processes.
  
  
  Related Information:
