How To Fix VQ293 - Info structure only updated asynchronously

VQ293 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: VQ - SD Archiving and Product Allocation

• Message number: 293

• Message text: Info structure only updated asynchronously

What causes this issue?

The update to info structure &v2& is independent (Level 2 update) of
the order update.

System Response

During asynchronous updates, errors during the update do not influence
the order update.
For this reason, product allocation usage can be entered considerably
later in the info structure, when the temporary blocks to the
allocation quantity have been removed. The temporary blocks of the
allocation quantities are removed when the order is saved. The used
allocation quantities are then no longer blocked. Overusage can occur.

How to fix this error?

We recommend that you carry out update to the order entry quantities
for product allocation synchronously with the order, as this belongs to
the operative business transaction.

VQ293 - Details

• Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation regarding the SAP error message VQ293: Info structure only updated asynchronously:
  
  SAP Message: VQ293 - Info structure only updated asynchronously
  
  Meaning / 
  Cause:
  The message VQ293 indicates that the Info Structure (usually related to Sales and Distribution (SD) or Logistics Information System (LIS)) is not updated immediately (synchronously) during the transaction but instead is updated asynchronously in the background.
  This typically happens because the system is configured to update the info structures via background jobs or batch input sessions rather than during the online transaction processing. This design is intentional to improve performance and reduce the response time of the transaction.
  
  When does this occur?
  
  When you post a document (e.g., sales order, delivery, billing) and the system triggers an update to the info structure.
  The update is not done immediately but scheduled for later processing.
  The message is informational, not an error, indicating that the update will happen asynchronously.
