  The SAP error message CM_EHPMA_SVT_MSSGS012 indicates that there is an issue with deleting a material document that is associated with a delivery. The message typically appears when you attempt to delete a material document (such as a goods movement) that is linked to a delivery item, which is not allowed in the system.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:
  
  The material document you are trying to delete is linked to a delivery item.
  The system enforces integrity rules that prevent the deletion of documents that are still associated with other processes (like deliveries).
  There may be open transactions or dependencies that need to be resolved before the document can be deleted.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Document Status: Verify the status of the material document and the associated delivery. Ensure that the delivery is not in a status that prevents the deletion of the material document.
  
  
  Remove Dependencies: If the material document is linked to a delivery, you may need to reverse or delete the delivery first. This can be done through the appropriate transaction codes (e.g., VL02N for changing deliveries).
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
  
  Use MBST to reverse the material document if applicable.
  Use VL09 to cancel the delivery if it is not needed anymore.
  
  
  
  Consult with Your Team: If you are unsure about the implications of deleting the document or the delivery, consult with your logistics or inventory management team to ensure that you are not disrupting any critical processes.
  
  
  Check for Open Transactions: Ensure that there are no open transactions that depend on the material document. This includes checking for any outstanding invoices or goods receipts.
  
  
  SAP Notes and Documentation: Check for any relevant SAP Notes or documentation that may provide additional insights or updates regarding this error message.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MB01 (Goods Movement), MBST (Cancel Material Document), VL01N (Create Delivery), and VL02N (Change Delivery).
  Material Document: Understand the lifecycle of material documents in SAP and how they interact with deliveries and inventory management.
  SAP Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP helpdesk for further assistance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the error and take appropriate action to resolve it.
