VL891
- Partial GR with serial numbers is only possible for the whole item ?The SAP error message VL891, which states "Partial GR with serial numbers is only possible for the whole item," typically occurs during the Goods Receipt (GR) process when dealing with items that have serial numbers. This error indicates that the system does not allow partial goods receipts for items that are serialized.
Cause:
- Serial Number Management: The item in question is managed with serial numbers, and SAP requires that all serial numbers for that item be received at once. This is a common requirement for items that are tracked individually.
- Partial Delivery: You may be attempting to perform a partial goods receipt for a delivery that includes serialized items, which is not allowed in this case.
- Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the material master or the movement type may not allow partial goods receipts for serialized items.
Solution:
- Complete Goods Receipt: Ensure that you are receiving the entire quantity of the item with all associated serial numbers. If you have a partial quantity, you will need to wait until you have the full quantity before performing the goods receipt.
- Check Serial Numbers: Verify that all serial numbers for the item are available and that you are entering them correctly during the goods receipt process.
- Configuration Review: If partial goods receipts are necessary for your business process, consider reviewing the configuration settings in the material master or movement types. You may need to consult with your SAP configuration team to adjust settings related to serial number management.
- Use Alternative Processes: If partial receipts are essential, consider using alternative processes, such as receiving the items without serial number tracking or using a different movement type that allows partial receipts.
