• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VL235 - The dlv. item is being processed in WM (no batch determination possible) ?

  The SAP error message VL235 indicates that the delivery item is currently being processed in Warehouse Management (WM), and as a result, batch determination cannot be performed. This typically occurs when there are issues related to the handling of stock in the warehouse, particularly when batch management is involved.
  Cause:
  
  Warehouse Management (WM) Integration: The delivery item is linked to a warehouse-managed storage location, and the system is unable to perform batch determination because the item is currently being processed in WM.
  Batch Management Settings: The material may be set up for batch management, but the system cannot determine the appropriate batch due to the item being locked or in a status that prevents processing.
  Stock Status: The stock for the item may be in a status that does not allow for batch determination (e.g., blocked stock).
  Delivery Status: The delivery may be in a status that does not allow for further processing, such as being partially picked or confirmed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check WM Status: Verify the status of the delivery item in WM. Ensure that it is not currently being processed or locked by another transaction.
  Review Batch Management Settings: Check the batch management settings for the material. Ensure that the batch determination procedure is correctly configured and that there are available batches for the material.
  Stock Overview: Use transaction code MMBE to check the stock status of the material. Ensure that there is available stock that is not blocked or in a restricted status.
  Delivery Processing: If the delivery is partially processed, complete the necessary steps (e.g., picking, confirmation) to allow for batch determination.
  Reprocess the Delivery: If the issue persists, you may need to cancel and recreate the delivery or reprocess it to clear any locks or statuses that are preventing batch determination.
