3670434 - Outbound Delivery Blocked for Picking or PGI Despite Credit Check Reaction Set to “Warning” (A) – SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

When creating or processing an outbound delivery, the following message is triggered:

• "Subsequent function 'Picking from delivery' not possible due to a credit block" (Message no. V1 849).

This occurs even though the credit control configuration is maintained with:

• Reaction = A (Warning) in SSCUI 101518 – Define Automatic Credit Control
• Status/Block = Checked

Additionally:

• The user is unable to confirm Picked Quantity.
• The system also prevents Post Goods Issue (PGI) due to the credit block.
• The delivery document does not appear in the “Manage Document Credit Decisions” app.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

1. Go to the app: Create Outbound Delivery with Order Reference.
2. System checks credit limit automatically.
   • A popup appears showing: Credit Check SAP Credit Management Failed.
   • Click "Continue".
3. Batch determination process completes.
4. Enter the picking quantity for each batch.
   • Press Enter.
   • System displays credit limit alert again.
   • System displays error message: "Subsequent function 'Picking from delivery' not possible due to a credit block".
5. User cannot confirm picked quantity.

This behavior is standard by design in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition.

• Even when the Reaction is set to "A – Warning", a hard stop is enforced at:
  • The Picking stage, and
  • The Post Goods Issue (PGI) stage if the credit exposure exceeds the credit limit.
• The “Status/Block” checkbox and “A” reaction do not override the block when the credit limit is exceeded.

In Public Cloud:

• There is no manual credit release function for delivery documents.
• The “Manage Document Credit Decisions” app supports only sales orders, not deliveries.

Workarounds

Option 1: Keep Credit Exposure Within the Limit

• Increase the Business Partner’s credit limit via the Maintain Business Partner app
  (in the relevant Credit Segment).
• Or, reduce open credit exposure by closing test orders, invoices, or deliveries.

Option 2: Adjust Credit Control Configuration (if business allows)

In SSCUI 101518 – Define Automatic Credit Control:

• Set the Reaction to blank or maintain it as “A”.
• Uncheck the Status/Block checkbox for the Picking or PGI credit check step.

Note : This may disable the credit block at PGI, use only if acceptable under business policy.
