• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M8069 - Delivery costs already copied ?

  The SAP error message M8069 ("Delivery costs already copied") typically occurs in the context of logistics and materials management when there is an attempt to copy delivery costs from a delivery document to a billing document or another related document, but the system detects that the costs have already been copied.

  Check Document Status: Verify the status of the delivery and billing documents involved. Ensure that the documents are in a state that allows for cost copying.
  Review Cost Copying Logic: Check the configuration settings related to cost copying in the SAP system. This may involve looking at the relevant customizing settings in the SPRO transaction.
