• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message O9668 - Delivery & is not in shipment ?

  The SAP error message O9668, which states "Delivery & is not in shipment," typically occurs in the context of logistics and shipping processes within the SAP system. This error indicates that the delivery document you are trying to process is not associated with any shipment. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  
  Delivery Not Assigned to Shipment: The most common reason for this error is that the delivery document you are trying to work with has not been assigned to a shipment. In SAP, deliveries must be linked to shipments for certain processes to be executed.
  
  
  Incorrect Document Number: You may be trying to process a delivery document that does not exist or has been incorrectly entered.
  
  
  Status of Delivery: The delivery might be in a status that does not allow it to be included in a shipment (e.g., it might be canceled or not yet fully processed).
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There could be configuration issues in the shipment or delivery process that prevent the system from recognizing the relationship between the delivery and shipment.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Delivery Assignment: Verify if the delivery document is indeed assigned to a shipment. You can do this by checking the shipment document in the SAP system to see if the delivery is listed.
  
  
  Create Shipment: If the delivery is not assigned to any shipment, you may need to create a new shipment and include the delivery in that shipment.
  
  
  Verify Document Number: Ensure that you are using the correct delivery document number. Double-check for any typographical errors.
  
  
  Check Delivery Status: Review the status of the delivery document. If it is in a status that does not allow it to be processed (e.g., blocked, canceled), you may need to resolve those issues first.
  
  
  Consult Configuration: If you suspect a configuration issue, consult with your SAP Basis or configuration team to ensure that the settings for deliveries and shipments are correctly configured.
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize relevant transaction codes such as VL01N (Create Outbound Delivery), VL02N (Change Outbound Delivery), or VT01N (Create Shipment) to manage deliveries and shipments effectively.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on deliveries and shipments.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to delivery and shipment processing, such as VL10B (Purchase Order Delivery Schedule) and VT02N (Change Shipment).
  User Exits and BAdIs: If you have custom developments, check if there are any user exits or BAdIs that might affect the delivery and shipment process.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in logistics and shipping processes.
