  The SAP error message L3A004 indicates that there is an issue with splitting a line item in a delivery or a sales order. Specifically, the message states that the item contains material that does not allow for splitting. This typically occurs in scenarios where the material is subject to certain restrictions or conditions that prevent it from being split into multiple parts.
  Causes:
  
  Material Type Restrictions: The material may be of a type that does not allow splitting, such as serialized items or batch-managed materials.
  Stock Type: The stock type of the material (e.g., unrestricted, quality inspection, blocked) may not permit splitting.
  Delivery or Order Settings: The delivery or sales order may have settings that restrict splitting, such as specific delivery items that are marked as non-splittable.
  Configuration Settings: Custom configuration settings in the SAP system may prevent splitting for certain materials or under certain conditions.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Material Master: Review the material master data for the item in question. Look for any settings that might restrict splitting, such as batch management or serialization.
  Review Delivery/Order Settings: Check the delivery or sales order settings to see if there are any flags or indicators that prevent splitting.
  Use Alternative Processing: If splitting is not allowed, consider processing the item as a whole. This may involve adjusting quantities or handling the item differently.
  Consult with Configuration Team: If the issue persists, consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings related to the material and the order/delivery process.
