  SAP Error Message:
  WPOC010 Goods issues already exist for purchase order &, item &
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to perform a goods receipt or goods issue transaction for a purchase order (PO) item, but the system detects that goods issues have already been posted for that PO item. Essentially, the system prevents duplicate or conflicting postings against the same PO item.
  More specifically:  
  
  The PO item has already been partially or fully processed with a goods issue (GI) document.  
  You are attempting to post another goods issue that conflicts with the existing postings.  
  This can happen if you try to reverse or change a PO item quantity or delivery that has already been issued.
  
  
  Explanation:
  
  In SAP MM (Materials Management), goods issues are typically posted against purchase orders for consumption or delivery to production, etc.  
  Once a goods issue is posted, the system locks certain fields or prevents duplicate postings to maintain data consistency.  
  The message WPOC010 is a warning or error indicating that the system has found existing goods issue documents for the PO item in question.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Goods Issues:  
  
  Use transaction MB51 or MB03 to display material documents related to the PO item.  
  Verify if goods issues have already been posted for the PO item.
  
  
  
  Adjust Your Posting:  
  
  If you intended to post a goods receipt (GR) but mistakenly tried a goods issue (GI), correct the transaction.  
  If you want to post an additional goods issue, ensure that the quantity does not exceed the remaining PO quantity.
  
  
  
  Reverse or Cancel Incorrect Goods Issues:  
  
  If a goods issue was posted in error, reverse it using transaction MBST or MIGO (cancel goods issue).  
  After reversal, you can post the correct goods issue or receipt.
  
  
  
  Check PO and Delivery Quantities:  
  
  Verify the PO item quantity and the quantity already issued.  
  Adjust your posting quantity accordingly.
  
  
  
  Consult with MM/Inventory Team:  
  
  Sometimes, this error arises due to process or master data issues.  
  Coordinate with the purchasing or inventory team to clarify the status of the PO item.
