• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SPE/ID_HANDLING006 - Posting GR is not possible for a delivery item & with HOLD status ?

  The SAP error message /SPE/ID_HANDLING006 indicates that a Goods Receipt (GR) cannot be posted for a delivery item that is in a HOLD status. This typically occurs in the context of logistics and inventory management within SAP, particularly when dealing with inbound deliveries.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the delivery item is currently on hold, which prevents any further processing, including posting a Goods Receipt. The hold status can be due to various reasons, such as:
  
  Quality Inspection: The item may be under quality inspection, and the system is configured to prevent GR until the inspection is completed.
  Incomplete Documentation: There may be missing or incomplete documentation that is required before the GR can be processed.
  Manual Hold: A user may have manually placed the delivery on hold for review or other reasons.
  System Configuration: Certain configurations in the system may enforce holds based on specific criteria (e.g., vendor issues, delivery discrepancies).
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Delivery Status: Review the delivery document in SAP to confirm its status. You can do this using transaction code VL03N (Display Outbound Delivery) or VL02N (Change Outbound Delivery).
  
  
  Identify the Reason for Hold:
  
  Navigate to the delivery item and check the details to see why it is on hold. Look for any notes or indicators that specify the reason.
  If it is due to quality inspection, you may need to complete the inspection process first.
  
  
  
  Remove the Hold:
  
  If the hold is due to a manual action, you may need to remove the hold status. This can typically be done by changing the delivery status in the delivery document.
  If the hold is due to quality inspection, ensure that the inspection is completed and the results are recorded in the system.
  
  
  
  Consult with Relevant Departments: If you are unsure why the hold is in place, consult with the quality assurance team, procurement, or the relevant department that may have placed the hold.
  
  
  Check Configuration Settings: If the hold is due to system configuration, you may need to work with your SAP Basis or configuration team to understand the settings and make necessary adjustments.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MIGO (Goods Movement), VL03N (Display Outbound Delivery), and QA32 (Quality Inspection Lot) for managing goods receipts and quality inspections.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  Documentation: Review your organization's internal documentation regarding the handling of delivery items and the processes for managing holds.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the hold and take appropriate action to resolve the error and successfully post the Goods Receipt.
