How To Fix M7462 - Creation of a delivery for movement type & not possible

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: M7 - Inventory Management and Physical Inventory

• Message number: 462

• Message text: Creation of a delivery for movement type & not possible

What causes this issue?

In your system there is an active decentralized warehouse, or there are
storage locations with a HU (handling unit) requirement.
When you post this goods movement, this means that a delivery is
created in the background.
The change to the batch status using movement type 341 or 342 using a
delivery is not permitted. &SYSTEM_RESPONSE&

How to fix this error?

If you require this process for business reasons, you must decouple the
two processes for batch status changes and posting changes in a HU
storage location for unrestricted stocks. One way of doing this is to
change the batch status in transaction MSC2N before the usage decision
is made (QA11).
