  The SAP error message LXYRD157 indicates that a shipment cannot be deleted because a yard vehicle is assigned to it. This typically occurs in the context of yard management within SAP, where shipments are associated with specific vehicles for transportation or handling purposes.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the shipment you are trying to delete has an active association with a yard vehicle. This means that the system recognizes that the shipment is still linked to a vehicle that is either in use or has not been fully processed, preventing its deletion to maintain data integrity.

  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Vehicle Assignment: 
  
  Navigate to the yard management module and check which yard vehicle is assigned to the shipment. You can do this by reviewing the shipment details in the system.
  
  
  
  Unassign the Vehicle:
  
  If the vehicle is still assigned to the shipment, you will need to unassign it. This can typically be done through the yard management transaction or screen where you manage vehicle assignments.
  Ensure that the vehicle is not currently in use for any other operations.
  
  
  
  Complete or Cancel Related Processes:
  
  If the vehicle is involved in any ongoing processes (like loading or unloading), you may need to complete or cancel those processes before you can unassign the vehicle.
  
  
  
  Retry Deletion:
  
  Once the vehicle has been unassigned, attempt to delete the shipment again. The error should no longer occur.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that there are no other dependencies or processes that might be preventing the deletion of the shipment. This could include linked documents or other transactions.
