How To Fix VLA087 - Item &1 &2: SIT-settings for schedule lines not consistent!

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: VLA - General Output Class for Delivery

• Message number: 087

• Message text: Item &1 &2: SIT-settings for schedule lines not consistent!

What causes this issue?

In case a proof-of-delivery is to trigger a goods issue from valuated
stock in transit, the correct movement type must be determined. In
certain cases, this movement type is taken from the stock in transit
settings for the sales document schedule line categories. If a sales
document item has multiple delivery relevant schedule lines, it is
mandatory to have identical SIT movement types maintained in their
settings.
In the current case, this restriction is violated. Sales item &V1& &V2&
contains schedule lines with at least types &V3& and &V4&, which are
delivery relevant, but have different settings for the SIT movement
type.

System Response

Goods issue cannot be performed.
