Negative Quantity in Delivery - Run Time Error

[vinoth_arunachalam]

Hello All
In our Production system, we got a run time error when we tried to process the delivery in  both VL02N and Vl03N. When we looked at the table entry for that delivery, we had negative entry for the delivery quantity.

I checked the copy control functionality and the control data has been maintained as positive. Do you know what might be causing the negative qty in delivery and how to rectify it.

  Our Delivery creation process.
The deliveries are created in the back ground. Apart from the standard delivery split conditions, we are also splitting the deliveries by Division by passing the value in the ZUKRL Field.

What happened?
     The current screen processing action was terminated since a situation

     This is probably due to an error in the ABAP program or in the current

are you using alternative units in the delivery?

if so, is the alternative unit smaller like the base unit? e.g. alternative unit = LB  and base unit = KG

are you using batches?

Can you attach a bigger part of the dump as text file. from the beginning of the dump  until the end of the Coding part where the error occurred.

Hi Jurgen The specific material in the Sales orde/Delivery did not have an Alternate UOM. But for other materials, we do have Sales UOM as EA and Basic UOM as LB. Also some of the materials are batch managed. Regarding the text file, I was not able to attach it, when I reply. So I have attached it in the mail

the important info from the dump is:

Screen name.............. "SAPMV50A"                                            |

|                  Screen number............ 1102                                                  |

|                  Screen field............. "LIPSD-G_LFIMG"                                       |

|                  Error text............... "FX015: Sign lost."

Here you basically have all info you need  to search in Marketplace for bug fixes in case it is caused by a SAP bug.

Further I see that this delivery is quite old, from 2011.  so you may potentially not anymore have the bug that is the root cause for this problem. But if the data was never corrected then it might only be a follow on problem with the display or when trying to change this old document.

If you lookup this deliver item in SE16 at table LIPS, what value does the field LFIMG show?

does SE16 dump too? does it show a negative sign?

Hi Jurgen

Thanks for the reply. We got the issue for delivery 86659361 created on July 24, 2013. We eventually deleted the delivery from the table. It had negative entry for the LFIMG filed in LIPS field. I searched using the Error text. I could not get one relating to delivery. I will create a message to SAP and check.
