How To Fix V1631 - You cannot enter new delivery costs

V1631 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: V1 - Verkaufsbelegbearbeitung

• Message number: 631

• Message text: You cannot enter new delivery costs

What causes this issue?

You are not allowed to add new delivery costs in a purchase order once
goods receipt has been carried out as these would then be proposed in
the invoice verification. The related posting to the clearing account
for goods receipt and invoice receipt would not then balance, if no
further goods receipt took place.
After the invoice has been received successfully, it is not possible to
change the delivery costs in the order. This is because information
necessary for problem-free operation is no longer available for the
delivery costs that have already been posted for subsequent reversals or
invoices, or the operation can no longer be done without errors.
It is also not possible to change delivery costs for stock transfers
with SD shipping after goods have been successfully issued, as this can
lead to errors during cancellation.
