• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/MM163 - Shipping point &1 deleted ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/MM163 Shipping point &1 deleted typically indicates that a shipping point that is being referenced in a transaction or process has been deleted from the system. This can occur in various scenarios, such as during the processing of deliveries, shipments, or when trying to create or modify documents that require a valid shipping point.
  Cause:
  
  Deletion of Shipping Point: The shipping point referenced in the transaction has been deleted from the system.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the master data, where the shipping point is still referenced in some documents or configurations but has been removed from the master data.
  Transport Issues: If the system is part of a transport landscape, the shipping point might have been deleted in one environment (e.g., development) but not yet transported to others (e.g., production).
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Shipping Point Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SPRO and navigate to the relevant configuration for shipping points.
  Verify if the shipping point exists in the system. If it has been deleted, you may need to recreate it.
  
  
  
  Recreate the Shipping Point:
  
  If the shipping point is necessary for your operations, you can recreate it using the transaction code OVL2 (Define Shipping Points).
  Ensure that all necessary configurations and assignments are made.
  
  
  
  Check Document References:
  
  Use transaction codes like VL03N (Display Outbound Delivery) or VT03N (Display Shipment) to check if there are any documents that still reference the deleted shipping point.
  If such documents exist, you may need to update them to reference a valid shipping point.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Check:
  
  Run consistency checks or reports to identify any inconsistencies in the master data that may be causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Transport Management:
  
  If the deletion was part of a transport request, ensure that the transport has been correctly applied across all environments. If necessary, re-transport the relevant objects.
