SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: V1 - Verkaufsbelegbearbeitung

• Message number: 271

• Message text: Quantity of &2 &3 remains after product selection (item &1)

What causes this issue?

Product selection could not completely confirm the requested delivery
quantity for the requested delivery date even when considering all
alternative materials. There is still an open request quantity.
Available materials after the requested delivery date are not included
in the product selection.

System Response

An alternative material can be declared as a requirements planning
material in the master data for material determination. If this is the
case, the requested delivery quantity in the sub-item of this
requirements planning material is increased by the open remaining
quantity, or a new sub-item is created in which the requested delivery
quantity equals the open remaining quantity. The system always creates
a new item if the sub-item with the planning material is NOT the last
sub-item. If there is no declared requirements planning material, the
open remaining quantity is not included in any further materials
planning.

How to fix this error?
