SAP Note 636681 - No error message for goods issue for the shipment

Summary :
In VT02N and VT11, if the delivery's goods issue fails to post upon setting a triggering shipment status (e.g., 'Shipment completion'), the system does not display an error. Shipment status resets if posting fails, but no notification occurs, potentially misleading users about the shipment's real state. This happens due to how error messages are managed in settings defined under transactions 0VTL or SE38 with RV56ABST report. To resolve, adjust the activity profile to emit logs upon shipment saves, enabling the display of error or success messages through system logs, thereby enhancing status visibility and accuracy.

Key words :
system displays message vw171 'status 'shipment completion' set, system displays message vw489 'posting goods issue, direct goods issue posting, system displays, goods issue posting, goods issue reason, posted directly 'carry, 'shipment completion', error message, shipment status
