• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VLA202 - Delivery quantity may not be less than the GR posted quantity ?

  The SAP error message VLA202, which states "Delivery quantity may not be less than the GR posted quantity," typically occurs in the context of logistics and inventory management when dealing with goods receipts (GR) and deliveries. This error indicates that the quantity you are trying to deliver is less than the quantity that has already been posted as received in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Goods Receipt Already Posted: The system has recorded a goods receipt for a certain quantity, and you are attempting to create a delivery for a quantity that is less than this received quantity.
  Incorrect Delivery Quantity: The delivery quantity specified in the delivery document is less than the quantity that has been received in the inventory.
  Partial Deliveries Not Allowed: The configuration of the system may not allow partial deliveries for the specific material or order type.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Goods Receipt Quantity: Verify the quantity that has been posted as received in the system. You can do this by checking the material document associated with the goods receipt.
  Adjust Delivery Quantity: If you intend to deliver the full quantity that has been received, adjust the delivery quantity to match or exceed the GR quantity.
  Allow Partial Deliveries: If partial deliveries are acceptable, you may need to adjust the configuration settings in the system to allow for this. This can typically be done in the material master or in the delivery settings.
  Create a New Delivery: If the delivery quantity needs to be less than the GR quantity for a valid reason, consider creating a new delivery for the remaining quantity or adjusting the GR if it was posted incorrectly (this may require reversing the GR).
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific configuration settings related to deliveries and goods receipts.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like MB03 to view material documents, VL01N to create deliveries, and MIGO for goods movements.
  Configuration Settings: Check the configuration in SPRO under Logistics Execution > Shipping > Deliveries > Define Delivery Types to see if partial deliveries are allowed.
  User Exits or BAdIs: If your organization has specific business rules, there may be user exits or BAdIs that enforce certain delivery rules. Consult with your ABAP team if custom logic is involved.
