  The SAP error message /SPE/ID_HANDLING005 indicates that a Goods Receipt (GR) cannot be posted for a delivery that is in either a HOLD or TMP (Temporary) status. This error typically arises in the context of logistics and inventory management within the SAP system, particularly when dealing with inbound deliveries.
  Cause:
  
  Delivery Status: The delivery is either on hold (HOLD) or in a temporary state (TMP). This status prevents any further processing, including posting a Goods Receipt.
  Incomplete Data: The delivery may have missing or incomplete data that needs to be addressed before it can be processed.
  Quality Inspection: If the delivery is subject to quality inspection, it may be held until the inspection is completed.
  Blocking Reasons: There may be specific blocking reasons set in the system that prevent the posting of the GR.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Delivery Status:
