• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDRD005 - Delivery relationship already entered manually therefore no determination ?

  The SAP error message MDRD005 indicates that a delivery relationship has already been manually entered in the system, which prevents the automatic determination of a delivery relationship. This typically occurs in the context of the SAP system's handling of delivery relationships in logistics or sales processes.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  A delivery relationship has been manually defined for a specific combination of data (such as customer, material, or plant).
  The system is attempting to automatically determine a delivery relationship based on predefined rules or configurations, but finds that a manual entry already exists, which takes precedence.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the MDRD005 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Manual Entries:
  
  Navigate to the relevant transaction where the delivery relationship is defined (e.g., transaction code MDR1 for maintaining delivery relationships).
  Verify if there is an existing manual entry for the combination of data you are working with.
  
  
  
  Modify or Delete Manual Entry:
  
  If the manual entry is not needed, you can delete it or modify it as necessary to allow the system to perform automatic determination.
  If the manual entry is required, ensure that it is correctly set up and meets your business requirements.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings for delivery relationships in the SAP system. Ensure that the automatic determination settings are correctly defined and that there are no conflicting entries.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to delivery relationships to understand the implications of manual entries and how they interact with automatic determination.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the process again to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the desired delivery relationship is determined correctly.
