  Cause:
  
  Document Category Configuration: The document category (in this case, "1") may not be set up to allow deliveries for the specific material type or item being processed. This can happen if the material is not intended for delivery or if it is a service item rather than a physical product.

  Adjust Transaction Type: If the transaction type being used is not appropriate for the material, consider using a different transaction type that supports delivery for the material.
  Consult with SAP Basis or Functional Consultant: If you are unsure about the configuration or how to change it, it may be beneficial to consult with an SAP Basis or functional consultant who can provide insights into the specific settings and configurations in your SAP environment.
