VL470 - Details

• The SAP error message VL470 indicates that there is a discrepancy between the delivery quantities and the quantities that have already been picked. This typically occurs when there is an attempt to change the delivery quantities after the picking process has already been completed. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information for this error:
  
  Cause:
  
  Quantity Change After Picking: The most common cause of this error is that the delivery quantities were increased after the picking process was completed. SAP does not allow changes to the delivery quantities if picking has already occurred to maintain data integrity.
  Manual Adjustments: Users may have manually adjusted the delivery quantities in the delivery document after the picking process.
  System Configuration: Certain configurations in the system may restrict changes to delivery quantities once picking is done.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Revert Quantity Changes: If possible, revert the delivery quantities back to the original amounts before the picking was done.
