• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRMA_FI106 - Post the goods issue for purchase order &1 &2 first ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WRMA_FI106 Post the goods issue for purchase order &1 &2 first
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to perform a subsequent process (such as invoice verification or goods receipt reversal) for a purchase order (PO) before the goods issue (GI) has been posted for that PO. In other words, the system expects that the goods issue for the specified purchase order and item has already been posted, but it has not been done yet.
  Typically, this happens in scenarios involving:
  
  Return deliveries or returns to vendor (RMA processes).
  Subsequent invoice verification or credit memo processing.
  Goods receipt reversal or invoice receipt reversal where the GI is a prerequisite.
  Processes where the system enforces the sequence: Goods Issue ? Invoice ? Payment.
  
  
  Explanation:
  
  The message references purchase order number (&1) and item (&2).
  The system enforces that the goods issue must be posted first to ensure inventory and accounting documents are consistent.
  Without the goods issue, the system cannot proceed with financial postings related to the PO.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Post the Goods Issue:
  
  Go to transaction MIGO or VL02N (depending on the process).
  Enter the purchase order number and item.
  Post the goods issue for the PO.
  Once the goods issue is posted, retry the process that triggered the error.
  
  
  
  Check Document Flow:
  
  Verify the document flow for the PO to confirm if the goods issue document exists.
  Use transaction MB51 or MB03 to check material documents related to the PO.
  
  
  
  If Goods Issue is Already Posted:
  
  There might be a system inconsistency or a missing link.
  Check for any open or blocked documents.
  Run consistency checks or consult with your SAP MM/SD consultant.
  
  
  
  For Return Deliveries:
  
  Ensure that the original goods issue for the purchase order has been posted before processing the return.
