• The SAP error message:
  WTADDI211: Invalid follow-on operation for ordering additionals
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you attempt to perform a follow-on operation (such as goods receipt, invoice verification, or delivery) on an additional item (an "ordering additional") in a purchase order or production order, but the system does not allow this because the additional item is not meant to be processed with follow-on logistics transactions.
  Ordering additionals are typically items added to a purchase order or production order that represent additional costs or services (e.g., freight, insurance, handling charges) rather than physical goods. Since these items do not represent stock or physical goods, follow-on operations like goods receipt or delivery are invalid.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Ordering additionals are used to capture additional costs related to procurement or production.
  They are not stock items and do not have material movements.
  Follow-on operations such as goods receipt (GR), invoice verification (IV), or delivery creation are only valid for stock items or
