  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VR405 - Warning! Full delivery indicator set. ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation regarding the SAP error message VR405 Warning! Full delivery indicator set:


    SAP Message: VR405 - Warning! Full delivery indicator set.


    Cause:

    The message VR405 appears when you try to create or process a delivery document in SAP, and the system detects that the Full Delivery Indicator is set for the sales order or delivery. This indicator means that the delivery must contain the full quantity of the order item(s) — partial deliveries are not allowed.

    In other words, the system expects the entire quantity of the order item to be delivered at once. If you attempt to create a delivery with a quantity less than the ordered quantity, the system issues this warning or error.


    Explanation:

    • The Full Delivery Indicator is a setting on the sales order item level (in the sales document) that controls whether partial deliveries are allowed.
    • When this indicator is set, the system enforces that the delivery quantity must be equal to the order quantity.
    • This is often used for business reasons where partial shipments are not acceptable (e.g., special packaging, customer requirements, or contractual obligations).

    Where is the Full Delivery Indicator set?

    • In the sales order, under the Schedule Line tab of the item, there is a checkbox called Full Delivery.
    • It can also be set via item category or sales document type configuration, depending on business rules.

    Solution:

    1. Check the Sales Order Item:

      • Go to the sales order (VA02).
      • Navigate to the item schedule lines.
      • Check if the Full Delivery Indicator is set.
    2. If partial deliveries are acceptable:

      • Remove or uncheck the Full Delivery Indicator on the schedule line.
      • Save the sales order.
      • Then create the delivery with partial quantity.
    3. If full delivery is required:

      • Ensure that the delivery quantity matches the order quantity.
      • Wait until the full quantity is available for delivery.
      • Create the delivery only when the full quantity can be delivered.
    4. Check Customizing:

      • Sometimes, the full delivery indicator is set automatically based on item category or sales document type.
      • Review the configuration in SPRO under:
        • Sales and Distribution ? Sales ? Sales Documents ? Sales Document Item ? Define Item Categories
        • Check the settings related to full delivery indicator.
    5. Override the Warning (if applicable):

      • Since VR405 is a warning, in some cases, you can proceed with the delivery creation by acknowledging the warning.
      • However, this depends on system settings and business process compliance.

    Related Information:

    • Message Class: VR (Sales and Distribution)
    • Transaction Codes:
      • VA01 / VA02 / VA03 — Create / Change / Display Sales Order
      • VL01N / VL02N — Create / Change Delivery
    • SAP Notes: Sometimes SAP Notes provide additional fixes or explanations if this message appears unexpectedly.
    • Business Impact: Ensures compliance with customer or company delivery policies.
