• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_CONS009 - Cons.: Goods receipt for purchase order &1 not posted yet ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_CONS009: Cons.: Goods receipt for purchase order &1 not posted yet
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error message indicates that a goods receipt (GR) for the specified purchase order (PO) number has not yet been posted in the system. In other words, the system expects that the goods receipt for the PO should have been recorded, but it cannot find any posted goods receipt document linked to that PO.
  This situation typically arises in scenarios such as:
  
  Attempting to perform a subsequent process (e.g., invoice verification, consumption posting, or goods issue) that requires a prior goods receipt.
  The PO is referenced in a process that assumes the goods receipt has already been posted, but it hasn't been done yet.
  The goods receipt was planned but not yet executed or saved in the system.
  
  
  Common Causes:
  
  The goods receipt transaction (e.g., MIGO) for the PO has not been completed or saved.
  The goods receipt was saved as a parked document but not posted.
  The PO is incorrect or incomplete.
  The system is checking for a goods receipt in a process that requires it, but the PO is still open without any GR.
  Timing issues in integrated processes (e.g., in warehouse management or production where GR is prerequisite).
  
  
  Solution / How to Resolve:
  
  
  Check the Purchase Order:
  
  Verify the PO number mentioned in the error message.
  Confirm that the PO is correct and active.
  
  
  
  Post the Goods Receipt:
  
  Use transaction MIGO (or MB01/MB31 in older systems) to post the goods receipt for the PO.
  Ensure that the quantity received matches the PO or the expected quantity.
  Save and post the document.
  
  
  
  Verify Goods Receipt Status:
  
  Use transaction ME23N to display the PO.
  Check the "Purchase Order History" tab to see if a goods receipt document exists.
  If no GR is posted, proceed to post it.
  
  
  
  Check for Parked Documents:
  
  Sometimes goods receipts are parked but not posted.
  Use transaction MB5T or check parked documents and post them.
  
  
  
  Re-run the Process:
  
  After posting the goods receipt, retry the process that triggered the error.
  
  
  
  If Goods Receipt is Already Posted:
  
  Check for inconsistencies or system delays.
  Run report MB51 to list material documents for the PO.
  If the system still throws the error, consider SAP support or check for custom validations or user exits that might cause this message.
