VW279
- Shipment costs calculation for shipment & has already started ?The SAP error message VW279 indicates that there is an issue with the shipment cost calculation for a specific shipment that has already started. This typically occurs when there is an attempt to change or re-calculate shipment costs after the shipment process has begun, which is not allowed in SAP.
Cause:
- Shipment Status: The shipment may be in a status that does not allow for changes to be made, such as "In Process" or "Completed."
- Cost Calculation Lock: The system may have locked the shipment for cost calculation to prevent inconsistencies.
- Incomplete Data: There may be missing or incorrect data that is preventing the cost calculation from being processed correctly.
- User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to perform cost calculations on shipments that are already in progress.
Solution:
- Check Shipment Status: Verify the status of the shipment. If it is in a status that does not allow changes, you may need to wait until it is completed or find a way to revert it to a status that allows changes.
- Review Shipment Data: Ensure that all necessary data for the shipment is complete and correct. This includes checking for missing cost elements or incorrect entries.
- Unlock Shipment: If the shipment is locked for cost calculation, you may need to unlock it. This typically requires administrative access or specific transaction codes to change the status.
- User Permissions: Ensure that the user attempting to perform the cost calculation has the appropriate permissions. If not, contact your SAP administrator to adjust the permissions.
- Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific transaction codes or procedures related to shipment cost calculations.
