• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CB507 - Enter "X" or " " as delivery completion indicator ?

  The SAP error message CB507, which states "Enter 'X' or ' ' as delivery completion indicator," typically occurs in the context of handling delivery completion indicators in the SAP system. This error is often encountered when working with delivery documents, particularly in the context of sales and distribution (SD) or materials management (MM).
  Cause:
  The error arises when the system expects a specific input for the delivery completion indicator field, which is used to indicate whether a delivery is complete or not. The field can typically accept two values:
  
  'X' (indicating that the delivery is complete)
  ' ' (a blank space, indicating that the delivery is not complete)
  
  If the user attempts to enter a value other than 'X' or a blank space, or if the field is left empty when it should not be, the system will trigger this error message.
  Solution:
  To resolve the CB507 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Delivery Completion Indicator Field: Ensure that you are entering either 'X' or a blank space in the delivery completion indicator field. If you are using a different value, change it to one of the acceptable values.
  
  
  Review the Delivery Document: If you are processing a delivery document, check the status of the delivery. If the delivery is indeed complete, enter 'X'. If it is not complete, ensure that the field is left blank.

  Check User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the delivery document. Lack of proper authorization can sometimes lead to unexpected errors.
