Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Purchase Requests and Orders work center.
  2. Go to the Purchase Order view and select the relevant Purchase Order.
  3. Select Edit and navigate to the Items tab.
  4. Select the line item and change the Quantity.
  5. Select Send Update and the error will appear.

Cause

System shows an error message because in Purchase Order there are Inbound Delivery Notifications present but no actual Delivery Document is created. System stops changes on Purchase Order, when there are only Delivery Notification existing and not an actual Delivery Document.

If we allow changes on Purchase Order then order will go for an approval then no changes on Purchase Order are allowed. In the mean time, if user creates actual delivery document ,then information to Purchase Order from Inbound delivery will not be updated. This will create an inconsistency in the Purchase Order document.

Resolution

You can create Inbound Delivery documents for the items which have an Inbound Delivery Notification.

 or

 You Should delete/cancel the Inbound Delivery Notification that does not have Delivery done(  or delete the remaining inbound delivery  notification quantity that is not  Delivered yet)

Follow below steps to find the Inbound delivery notifications if any:

  1. Go to the Inbound Logistics work center.
  2. Select the Inbound Delivery Notifications view.
  3. Go to the advanced search and enter the ID of the Purchase Order.
  4. Search for the relevant notification.
  5. Click on search to see if any Inbound Delivery Notifications appear.
