• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WG070 - Order item not posted for external req. no. &, material & ?

  The SAP error message:
  WG070: Order item not posted for external req. no. &, material &
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs during the goods receipt or goods issue posting process when the system cannot find a corresponding order item for the given external requisition number and material. Essentially, the system expects that the material movement should be linked to a purchase order or production order item, but it cannot find the relevant order item in the system.
  Common causes include:
  
  The external requisition number (e.g., purchase requisition or production order number) does not exist or is incorrect.
  The material number provided does not match any item in the referenced order.
  The order item has not been created or confirmed in the system.
  The document flow or reference document is incomplete or inconsistent.
  The goods movement is attempted for an order item that has not been released or is blocked.
  Data inconsistencies or master data errors (e.g., material master or order master data).
  
  
  Solution / How to fix:
  
  
  Verify the external requisition number and material:
  
  Check that the external requisition number (purchase requisition, production order, or other reference) is correct.
  Confirm that the material number is correct and exists in the system.
  
  
  
  Check the order item:
  
  Ensure that the order item exists and is correctly maintained.
  Verify that the order item is not deleted or blocked.
  Confirm that the order item is released and available for goods movement.
  
  
  
  Check document flow and references:
  
  Review the document flow to ensure that the goods movement is correctly linked to the order item.
  If the goods receipt is for a purchase order, verify that the PO item exists and is open for goods receipt.
  
  
  
  Check master data:
  
  Verify the material master data for correctness.
  Check the order master data for completeness.
  
  
  
  Recreate or correct the order item if necessary:
  
  If the order item is missing or incorrect, recreate or correct it.
  If the external requisition number is wrong, correct it in the goods movement document.
  
  
  
  Use transaction codes to investigate:
  
  Use ME23N to display purchase orders.
  Use CO03 to display production orders.
  Use MB51 or MB03 to check material documents.
