Function documentation Consistency Check Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Use

The consistency check determines whether any data inconsistencies exists between the delivery document, Customizing and master data.

Features

The consistency check contains the following checks:

      Check whether the document type, document category, item type and item category correspond to the settings in Customizing for delivery processing.

      Check whether the document contains items.

      Check whether the product data corresponds to the product master (for example, product ID and allowed units of measure).

      Check whether the location data corresponds to the location master.

      Check whether the delivery date lies in the past.

      Check whether the specifications for the Incoterms, process codes, partner roles, reference documents and date types correspond to the settings in Customizing for delivery processing.

      Check whether partial deliveries are allowed.

Delivery processing determines the number of allowed partial deliveries from the reference document. The consistency check uses these specifications to determine whether partial deliveries are allowed. If no partial deliveries are allowed, the system issues a message and you cannot split the delivery.

      Check whether the retention period is expired.

Activities

The consistency check is executed automatically by the system. You can also trigger the consistency check manually by choosing the delivery document This graphic is explained in the accompanying text in the maintenance transaction.

If a document is inconsistent, the system issues an appropriate message.

Example

If you want to compare the delivery quantity of the inbound and outbound delivery with the tolerance defined in Customizing, you can perform a Tolerance Check.
