• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WSPT043 - Delivery reversal without approval ID will give an error. ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WSPT043 – Delivery reversal without approval ID will give an error.
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you attempt to reverse (cancel) a delivery document in SAP without providing a required Approval ID. In certain business processes, especially those involving controlled or sensitive deliveries (e.g., high-value goods, regulated materials), SAP requires an approval step before allowing reversal of the delivery. If the system is configured to enforce this approval, and you try to reverse the delivery without specifying the approval ID, the system throws this error.
  
  Explanation:
  
  The Approval ID is a control mechanism to ensure that only authorized reversals are performed.
  This is often part of a custom or standard workflow/process control in the delivery or shipping process.
  The system checks for the presence of an approval ID before allowing the reversal.
  If missing, the system blocks the reversal to prevent unauthorized changes.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Provide the Approval ID:
  
  When reversing the delivery, enter the required Approval ID in the reversal transaction.
  The Approval ID is usually generated or assigned during the approval process and must be referenced during reversal.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Verify if the approval process for delivery reversal is active in your system.
  This can be controlled via customizing in Logistics Execution or Sales and Distribution modules.
  Transaction codes like SPRO ? Logistics Execution ? Shipping ? Deliveries ? Define Approval Procedures might be relevant.
  
  
  
  Obtain Approval:
  
  If you do not have an Approval ID, request the necessary approval from the responsible department or user.
  Once approved, the Approval ID can be used to proceed with the reversal.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation or Support:
  
  If unsure about the approval process or how to obtain the Approval ID, consult your internal process documentation or SAP support team.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  Delivery reversal is typically done via VL09 (Cancel Goods Issue).
  Approval processes might be linked to custom transactions or standard SAP workflow.
  
  
  
  Customizing Path:
  
  SPRO ? Logistics Execution ? Shipping ? Deliveries ? Define Approval Procedures (if applicable)
  Or check for user-exits/enhancements that enforce approval checks.
  
  
  
  Notes:
  
  This error is often part of a company’s internal control to prevent unauthorized delivery reversals.
  The exact implementation of the approval process can vary by company and SAP version.
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  
  Cause: Attempting to reverse a delivery without entering the mandatory Approval ID.
  Solution: Provide the required Approval ID during reversal or obtain the necessary approval.
  Check: System configuration for approval procedures and internal process compliance.
  
  
  If you need further assistance, please provide details about the SAP module, transaction used, and whether this is a standard or customized process.
