  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W0127 - Maintain a maximum allowed requested delivery time in days ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message W0127: "Maintain a maximum allowed requested delivery time in days":


    Error Message: W0127 - Maintain a maximum allowed requested delivery time in days


    Cause:

    This warning message appears when the requested delivery time entered in a sales document (e.g., sales order, delivery) exceeds the maximum allowed requested delivery time defined in the system.

    • The requested delivery time is the number of days between the order date and the requested delivery date.
    • SAP checks this value against a predefined maximum allowed value to ensure realistic and manageable delivery schedules.
    • If the requested delivery time is longer than the maximum allowed, the system issues this warning to alert the user.

    Where is this setting maintained?

    The maximum allowed requested delivery time is maintained in the Sales Document Type customizing or in the Shipping settings, depending on the SAP version and configuration.

    Typically, it is found in:

    • SPRO ? Sales and Distribution ? Sales ? Sales Documents ? Sales Document Header ? Define Sales Document Types
    • Or in the shipping settings under:
      • SPRO ? Logistics Execution ? Shipping ? Basic Shipping Functions ? Define Shipping Point and Goods Receiving Point
    • Or in the Delivery Scheduling parameters.

    Solution:

    1. Check the Requested Delivery Time:

      • Review the requested delivery date in the sales document.
      • Calculate the requested delivery time (requested delivery date - order date).
    2. Check the Maximum Allowed Requested Delivery Time:

      • Go to the customizing settings where the maximum allowed requested delivery time is defined.
      • This value might be too low for your business scenario.
    3. Adjust the Maximum Allowed Requested Delivery Time:

      • If the business requires longer delivery times, increase the maximum allowed requested delivery time in the customizing.
      • This will prevent the warning from appearing for longer delivery times.
    4. Adjust the Requested Delivery Date:

      • If the requested delivery time is unrealistic or too long, negotiate with the customer or adjust the requested delivery date to fall within the allowed range.
    5. Ignore the Warning (if appropriate):

      • Since W0127 is a warning (not an error), you can proceed with the document if the long delivery time is acceptable.
      • However, it is better to align the settings with business requirements.

    Related Information:

    • Field involved: Requested Delivery Date (VBEP-EDATU) and Requested Delivery Time (VBEP-FAZET).
    • Impact: Helps maintain realistic delivery schedules and prevents scheduling errors.
    • Message Class: SD (Sales and Distribution)
    • Message Number: 127
    • Message Type: Warning (W)

    Summary:

    Aspect Description
    Cause Requested delivery time exceeds the maximum allowed value defined in customizing.
    Solution Adjust the maximum allowed requested delivery time in customizing or modify the requested delivery date.
    Location of Setting SPRO ? Sales and Distribution ? Sales Documents ? Sales Document Header ? Define Sales Document Types (or Shipping settings).
    Message Type Warning (can be overridden if business allows).
