  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/MM165 Delivery &1 already processed: delete manually (VL02N, VL09) typically occurs in the context of logistics and delivery processing within the SAP system. This error indicates that the delivery document you are trying to process has already been processed in a way that prevents further automatic processing. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Delivery Already Processed: The delivery document has already been processed (e.g., goods issue, billing) and cannot be modified or deleted through the standard transaction.
  Inconsistent Data: There may be inconsistencies in the data related to the delivery, possibly due to previous manual interventions or errors during processing.
  Custom Logic: Custom enhancements or user exits may have been implemented that affect the processing of deliveries, leading to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Manual Deletion: As the error message suggests, you may need to delete the delivery manually. This can be done using transaction code VL02N (Change Outbound Delivery) or VL09 (Cancel Goods Movement). Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform these actions.
  
  VL02N: Open the delivery and check its status. If it is marked as processed, you may need to cancel or reverse the relevant transactions.
  VL09: Use this transaction to reverse the goods movement if applicable.
  
  
  
  Check Delivery Status: Verify the status of the delivery document. If it has been fully processed (e.g., all items delivered and invoiced), you may not be able to make further changes.
  
  
  Consult with SAP Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue through manual deletion or if the delivery should not have been processed, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP support team or SAP Notes for further assistance.
  
  
  Review Custom Code: If there are custom developments in your SAP environment, review them to ensure they are not causing the issue. This may involve checking user exits, BAdIs, or custom programs that interact with delivery processing.
