VW869
- Inbound delivery & contains different plants in the items ?The SAP error message VW869 indicates that an inbound delivery contains items that are associated with different plants. This situation typically arises when you are trying to process an inbound delivery that includes materials from multiple plants, which is not allowed in certain scenarios.
Cause:
The error occurs because:
- Multiple Plants: The inbound delivery is attempting to include items that are sourced from different plants. In SAP, an inbound delivery is generally expected to be associated with a single plant.
- Configuration Settings: The system settings or configuration may restrict the processing of inbound deliveries that contain items from multiple plants.
Solution:
To resolve the VW869 error, you can consider the following approaches:
Separate Inbound Deliveries: If the items in the inbound delivery are indeed from different plants, you will need to create separate inbound deliveries for each plant. This is the most straightforward solution.
Check Item Details: Review the items in the inbound delivery to ensure that they are correctly assigned to the appropriate plant. You can do this by checking the material master data for each item.
Adjust Configuration: If your business process requires handling multiple plants in a single inbound delivery, you may need to consult with your SAP configuration team to see if adjustments can be made to allow this. However, this is generally not recommended as it can complicate inventory management.
Use of Handling Units: If applicable, consider using handling units (HUs) to manage the items. This can sometimes help in organizing items from different plants, but it still may require separate deliveries.
Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for any specific configurations or settings that may be affecting the processing of inbound deliveries.
