• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VL232 - There are batch split item(s) with open picking requests ?

  The SAP error message VL232 indicates that there are batch split items with open picking requests. This typically occurs in the context of outbound deliveries when the system detects that there are items in a batch that have not been fully picked or processed, which prevents the delivery from being completed.
  Cause:
  
  Open Picking Requests: The primary cause of this error is that there are still open picking requests for items that are batch split. This means that the system has identified that there are still quantities of the item that need to be picked before the delivery can be processed.
  Batch Management: If batch management is enabled for the material, the system tracks inventory at the batch level. If there are multiple batches for a material and some of them have not been fully picked, this error can occur.
  Partial Picking: If a partial picking has been done and the remaining quantity is still open, the system will not allow the delivery to be completed until all picking requests are resolved.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Open Picking Requests: Use transaction code VL06O (Outbound Delivery Monitor) or VL02N (Change Outbound Delivery) to check the status of the picking requests. Identify which items are still open and need to be picked.
  Complete Picking: Ensure that all picking requests for the batch split items are completed. This may involve physically picking the items from the warehouse and confirming the picking in the system.
  Adjust Delivery Quantities: If necessary, adjust the delivery quantities to match what has been picked. This can be done in the outbound delivery document.
  Batch Management Review: Review the batch management settings for the material to ensure that they are configured correctly. If batch splits are not needed, consider adjusting the settings.
  Reprocess Delivery: After resolving the picking requests, attempt to reprocess the delivery to see if the error persists.
  
  Related Information:
