• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OE855 - Delivery & was already deleted via another position or IDoc ?

  The SAP error message OE855 indicates that a delivery has already been deleted through another position or IDoc. This typically occurs in the context of logistics and order processing, where a delivery document is being referenced or processed, but it has been marked for deletion in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Deletion: The delivery document may have been deleted by another user or process while you were trying to access or modify it.
  IDoc Processing: If the delivery was deleted as part of an IDoc processing (for example, through an inbound IDoc that indicates a deletion), this error can occur.
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the database or application state, leading to the system not being able to find the delivery document.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Deletion Status: Verify if the delivery document is indeed deleted. You can do this by checking the document in the relevant transaction (e.g., VL03N for display delivery).
  Review IDoc Status: If the deletion was triggered by an IDoc, check the status of the IDoc in transaction WE02 or WE05. Look for any errors or issues that may have occurred during processing.
  Reprocess IDoc: If the IDoc is in error status, you may need to correct the issue and reprocess the IDoc.
  Database Consistency Check: If you suspect data inconsistency, you may need to run consistency checks or consult with your SAP Basis team to ensure the database is in a consistent state.
  User Communication: If multiple users are working on the same delivery, communicate with them to ensure that no one else is trying to delete or modify the same document simultaneously.
  
  Related Information:
