• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message V1187 - There are open quotations for this sold-to party ?

  The SAP error message V1187, which states "There are open quotations for this sold-to party," typically occurs when you are trying to create a sales order for a customer (sold-to party) that has existing open quotations. This is a safeguard in SAP to ensure that sales orders are not created for customers who have pending quotations that may still be valid.
  Cause:
  
  Open Quotations: The primary cause of this error is that there are one or more open quotations for the specified sold-to party in the system. These quotations may not have been converted into sales orders yet.
  Quotation Validity: The quotations may still be valid and could potentially be converted into sales orders, which is why the system prevents the creation of a new sales order.
  Configuration Settings: There may be specific configuration settings in the SAP system that enforce this check.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Open Quotations:
  
  Use transaction code VA25 (Display Quotations) to view all open quotations for the sold-to party in question.
  Review the details of the quotations to determine if they are still relevant.
  
  
  
  Convert Quotations:
  
  If the open quotations are still valid and you want to proceed with them, you can convert them into sales orders using transaction code VA22 (Change Quotation) or VA21 (Create Quotation) if you need to modify them before conversion.
  
  
  
  Cancel or Delete Quotations:
  
  If the open quotations are no longer needed, you can cancel or delete them. Use transaction code VA22 to change the quotation status to "Cancelled" or delete it if appropriate.
  
  
  
  Configuration Review:
  
  If you believe that the system should allow the creation of sales orders despite open quotations, you may need to review the configuration settings in the Sales and Distribution (SD) module. This may require assistance from your SAP administrator or consultant.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for any specific configurations or business rules that may be affecting this behavior.
