3745271 - Unable to Delete EWM Inbound Delivery via API: warehouseinbounddelivery_0001 - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

The API warehouseinbounddelivery_0001 does not support the deletion of warehouse inbound delivery notes (DNs).

No specific error message or error code is provided.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Review the available operations of API warehouseinbounddelivery_0001.
  2. Attempt to locate or invoke a DELETE operation for warehouse inbound deliveries (DNs).
  3. Observe that a delete endpoint/operation is not available for inbound DNs.

Cause

The inability to delete Inbound Deliveries via the warehouseinbounddelivery_0001 API is due to system restrictions in the SAP Public Cloud Edition.

In the cloud version of SAP, certain transactions and operations (such as deletion of inbound deliveries) are restricted or handled differently compared to the on-premise version of SAP S/4HANA or other editions.

This limitation is in place to ensure data integrity and prevent the unintended loss of critical information within the warehouse management process.

Resolution

  1. Reverse goods receipt (if posted): Use the "Manage Inbound Deliveries" app to reverse any GR posted for the inbound delivery.
  2. Cancel open warehouse tasks: In the "Warehouse Monitor" (or relevant warehouse task apps), cancel any open WTs related to the delivery.
  3. Set item quantities to zero: In "Manage Inbound Deliveries", adjust the quantities for relevant items to zero.
  4. Post goods receipt with zero quantity: Post GR to update the document with zero quantities and effectively complete it without physical receipt.
  5. Correct stock movements (if applicable): If stock was moved, use warehouse task apps to move it back to the receiving area.
  6. Note on API capability: Deletion of EWM inbound deliveries via API warehouseinbounddelivery_0001 is not supported. If you require this capability, consider submitting a feature request (refer to the KBA in See also).
