outbound delivery's item without predecessor data

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have an outbound delivery(created in VL01N) where one item shows in "predecessor data" tab

"This item has no preceding document", but I checked the sales orden(VA03) and it has an item for

this item, please, how can I add this sales orden with its corresponding item?, just one item shows this message but I don't know how to repair it.

You better to cancel the billing (VF11), reverse goods issue (VL09), unpick the delivery and delete the unlinked item. Then in VL02 you can choose deliver sales order and select the correct sales order item to add to the delivery. Then reprocess picking, PGI and billing.

Hi

Can you check if the order number appears in fields

LIPS-VGEL and LIPS-VGPOS? If so it might be possible to rebuild the

VBFA entry.

If the delivery was created with sales order reference the order number

and item number should be held in these fields. Even if the record

was deleted from VBFA these fields should still be in the LIPS table.

That way we could check if the order actually still exists.

However in this case we have no order number linked which normally

indicates that the delivery was not created with order reference.

Please check

Hi Ramana, I checked this table, the delivery that has problems was created without sales order reference, is possible to link with the right sales orden?

Hi,

When the outbound delivery is generated from the sales order, both documents are linked through the document flow.

This is "basic" in SAP ERP.

This may be is the result of an incorrect configuration.

Check your customizing settings again the configuration for standard document types.
