  The SAP error message CVIV_VAL025 indicates that there is an issue with the planned delivery time for a purchasing organization in the system. Specifically, it states that the planned delivery time must not be negative. This error typically arises during the creation or modification of purchasing documents, such as purchase orders or info records.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by a negative value being entered for the planned delivery time in the purchasing organization settings. The planned delivery time is expected to be a non-negative integer, representing the number of days required to deliver goods after the order is placed.

  Ensure that the planned delivery time is correctly maintained and is not negative.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing Settings:
