  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VL368 - With partial-delivery indicator A, quantity 0 not allowed ?

    The SAP error message VL368 ("With partial-delivery indicator A, quantity 0 not allowed") typically occurs during the processing of sales orders or deliveries when there is an attempt to create a delivery with a quantity of zero for items that are marked for partial delivery. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:

    Cause:

    1. Partial Delivery Indicator: The item in question has been set with a partial delivery indicator (usually 'A' for allowed). This means that the system expects that the item can be delivered in parts.
    2. Zero Quantity: The error arises when there is an attempt to create a delivery for an item with a quantity of zero. The system does not allow this because it contradicts the partial delivery setting.

    Solutions:

    1. Check Delivery Quantity: Ensure that the quantity being delivered is greater than zero. If you are trying to deliver an item, make sure that the quantity specified is valid and reflects the actual quantity available for delivery.

    2. Review Sales Order: Go back to the sales order and check the quantities assigned to the items. If the quantity is zero, you may need to adjust the order or remove the item from the delivery.

    3. Adjust Partial Delivery Settings: If partial deliveries are not required for certain items, consider changing the partial delivery indicator in the item details of the sales order or delivery. This can be done in the sales order or delivery document by navigating to the item details and adjusting the settings.

    4. Check Stock Availability: Ensure that there is sufficient stock available for the items you are trying to deliver. If stock is not available, you may need to procure or produce the items before attempting to create a delivery.

    5. Consult with SAP Support: If the issue persists and you are unable to resolve it, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting SAP documentation for further assistance.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: You may encounter this error while using transaction codes such as VL01N (Create Outbound Delivery), VL02N (Change Outbound Delivery), or VL03N (Display Outbound Delivery).
    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional context or fixes.
    • User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to make changes to sales orders and deliveries, as restrictions may also lead to issues.
