Incompletion Log in SAP SD – Ensuring Data Accuracy Before Processing

In the SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) module, maintaining complete and accurate data is critical to avoid downstream process errors. The Incompletion Log feature is designed to ensure that all essential fields are filled in before a sales document moves to the next stage—be it delivery or billing.
This document explains how to configure and apply Incompletion Procedures in SAP S/4HANA. It covers:
- How to define and assign incompletion procedures for sales order headers and item levels
- How to find the technical field names and tables using SE16N
- The role of status groups in blocking incomplete documents
- Real-time examples showing system behavior when mandatory fields are missing
- Testing via VA01 to verify if the system blocks or warns the user
By following this guide, SAP consultants can ensure that sales orders, delivery documents, and billing documents are processed only when all required data is complete.
