Answer:
Hello,

Take a look at transaction SM13. That will give you a better indication of what went wrong.

Trust this helps.

Answer:
You can also look at the output that you have specified for delivery. If you specify that a delivery note must print this will normally take place when you post goods issue. If the output cannot process this will give you an update error

hi,

I too came across the similar sort of problem while saving the sales order after deleting the second line item and addinng other item instead..
But system didn't let us saving the order by popping up the express doc. saying that duplication is not allowed
we got rid of this problem by entering the item giving no 30 manually.

I belive system stored the item number 20 eventhough it was deleted.

It's quiet strange.
