What causes this issue?

You want to post the goods issue for a delivery during the processing of
vendor consignment goods. It involves a partial delivery, which means an
alternate stock category is recorded in one of the previous deliveries
or the current delivery, or consignment goods are being delivered. A
partial delivery is not possible in this case, however, as partial
deliveries must have the same stock category.

System Response

Processing is cancelled to avoid data inconsistencies.

How to fix this error?

Check the stock situation in the issuing plant. Be sure to examine the
special stocks as well.
Check the settings for stock determination.
Check the material documents for the previous partial deliveries.
To avoid invalid partial deliveries, do the following:
Make sure that sufficient stock is available for the given stock
category. The stock category results from the posted deliveries. If the
stock category does not have sufficient stocks, post stock transfers.
Make changes within stock determination.

  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_CONS004 Cons.: Partial deliveries with consignment not possible
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to create a partial delivery for a sales order item that is flagged as a consignment item. In SAP, consignment stock is stock that is stored at the customer’s premises but still owned by the vendor until it is consumed or withdrawn by the customer.
  Partial deliveries are not allowed for consignment stock items because the entire consignment stock quantity must be delivered or handled as a whole. The system restricts partial deliveries to avoid inconsistencies in stock ownership and billing processes.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Consignment stock is managed differently from regular stock.
  Partial deliveries imply that only a portion of the ordered quantity is delivered, which conflicts with the consignment stock handling logic.
  The system enforces this restriction to maintain data integrity and proper stock and billing management.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, consider the following options:
  
  
  Deliver the full quantity at once:
  
  Instead of creating a partial delivery, create a delivery document for the entire consignment quantity.
  
  
  Change the delivery strategy:
  
  If partial deliveries are necessary, you may need to reconsider whether consignment stock is the appropriate stock type for this business process. For example, use regular stock instead of consignment stock if partial deliveries are required.
  
  
  Check item category and delivery settings:  
  
  Verify the item category in the sales order (e.g., K for consignment).
  Check the delivery block or partial delivery indicator in the sales order item.
  Adjust settings if partial deliveries are allowed for non-consignment items.
  
  
  
  Customizing settings:  
  
  In some cases, business requirements may require customizing the delivery process.
  Consult with your SAP SD consultant to review the delivery and consignment process configuration.
