SAP Error Message - Details

  • Message type: E = Error

  • Message class: WRF_AT - Messages for Allocation Table RTFASH

  • Message number: 164

  • Message text: New DC delivery date not synchronized with allocation table &1, item &2

  • Show details Hide details
  • What causes this issue?

    Follow-on documents already exist for allocation table &V1& for
    recipients.
    Follow-on documents exist when there are stock transport orders or when
    the purchase order in question is a direct delivery order.
    In this case, synchronization is not executed between the allocation
    table and the purchase order, despite the fact that distribution center
    delivery dates were changed in the purchase order.

    System Response

    The system did not synchronize the changed DC delivery dates for the
    purchase order &V3& in allocation table &V1&.
    This may mean that the delivery cannot adhere to the "Goods Receipt
    Recipient" date because of the change to the "Goods Receipt DC" date in
    the purchase order.

    How to fix this error?

    The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

    Procedure for System Administrators

    In this case, it is not possible to change the distribution center
    delivery date in allocation table &V1& at a later date.

  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_AT164 - New DC delivery date not synchronized with allocation table &1, item &2 ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation of the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    WRF_AT164 New DC delivery date not synchronized with allocation table &1, item &2


    Meaning / Cause:

    This error occurs when there is a mismatch or inconsistency between the new Delivery Confirmation (DC) delivery date and the corresponding allocation table entry for a specific document (&1) and item (&2).

    In other words, the system tries to update or confirm a delivery date, but the allocation table (which manages stock or delivery allocations) does not reflect this new date, causing synchronization issues.

    This typically happens in scenarios involving:

    • Delivery scheduling and confirmation processes.
    • Allocation of stock to deliveries or orders.
    • Changes in delivery dates that are not properly updated in all related tables.

    Common Causes:

    • The delivery date in the DC (Delivery Confirmation) has been changed but the allocation table has not been updated accordingly.
    • Inconsistent or incomplete data updates during delivery processing.
    • Custom enhancements or user exits that modify delivery dates but do not update allocation tables.
    • System inconsistencies due to interrupted transactions or background jobs.

    Solution / How to Fix:

    1. Check the Delivery Date Consistency:

      • Verify the delivery date in the delivery document and compare it with the allocation table entries.
      • Use transaction codes like VL02N (Change Outbound Delivery) or VL03N (Display Outbound Delivery) to check delivery dates.
    2. Update Allocation Table:

      • Ensure that the allocation table is updated with the new delivery date.
      • This might require running standard SAP programs or reports that synchronize delivery dates with allocation tables.
      • Sometimes, re-saving or re-processing the delivery document can trigger the update.
    3. Check for Custom Code:

      • Review any user exits, BADIs, or custom programs that might be changing delivery dates without updating allocation tables.
      • Adjust the code to ensure synchronization.
    4. Re-run Relevant Background Jobs:

      • If the system uses background jobs to update allocation tables, ensure these jobs are running correctly.
    5. SAP Notes / Support:

      • Search for SAP Notes related to message WRF_AT164 for any patches or corrections.
      • If the problem persists, consider raising a support ticket with SAP, providing the document number and item details.

    Related Information:
