• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MIGO030 - You cannot switch to a movement type without ref. to a PO ?

  The SAP error message MIGO030 ("You cannot switch to a movement type without reference to a PO") typically occurs when you are trying to perform a goods movement in the MIGO transaction without a proper reference to a Purchase Order (PO) when the movement type you are using requires one.
  Cause:
  This error usually arises in the following scenarios:
  
  Movement Type Requirements: The movement type you are trying to use is configured to require a reference to a Purchase Order. For example, movement types like 101 (Goods Receipt for Purchase Order) require a PO reference.
  Incorrect Movement Type: You may be using a movement type that is not appropriate for the type of transaction you are trying to perform.
  Missing PO Reference: If you are trying to perform a goods receipt or other movement that typically requires a PO, and you have not entered a valid PO number, this error will occur.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the MIGO030 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Movement Type: Ensure that you are using the correct movement type for your transaction. If you are performing a goods receipt against a PO, make sure to use a movement type that allows for this (e.g., 101).
  
  
  Enter a Valid PO: If the movement type requires a PO reference, make sure to enter a valid Purchase Order number in the appropriate field. You can do this by:
  
  Selecting the "Goods Movement" option in MIGO.
  Entering the relevant PO number in the "Purchase Order" field.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration: If you believe the movement type should not require a PO reference, you may need to review the configuration settings in the SAP system. This may involve checking the movement type settings in the customizing (SPRO) transaction to see if the requirement for a PO reference is appropriate.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the movement types and their requirements, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP functional consultant for guidance.
  
  
  Alternative Movement Types: If you are performing a different type of goods movement that does not require a PO (e.g., stock transfer, inventory adjustment), ensure you are using the correct movement type that does not have this restriction.
  
  
  Related Information:
