How To Fix VLCU002 - Item category & in client & used for inbound and outbound deliveries.

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: VLCU - Customizing in Shipping

• Message number: 002

• Message text: Item category & in client & used for inbound and outbound deliveries.

What causes this issue?

As program VLCUSTXPRA was running, a sales document category was set in
the item categories of the delivery (table TVLP). This value was taken
from delivery item category determination (table T184L). If the item
category is only used for outbound deliveries, the program assigns it
the value 'J' (outbound delivery). If you have only used this item
category for inbound deliveries up to this point, it is assigned the
value '7' (inbound delivery). You have encountered a situation in which
you are using one item category for both inbound and outbound
deliveries, which makes it impossible for the system to determine a
unique value. The sales document category takes on a controlling
function over the delivery item category and the item category can only
be used for inbound or outbound deliveries, but not for both.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

System Response

How to fix this error?

Decide whether you would like to use the item category for inbound
deliveries (= '7') or outbound deliveries (= 'J') and maintain the
corresponding value in table TVLP (delivery item categories). Otherwise,
create a new item category in Customizing under shipping and include the
corresponding subsequent activities.
