  The SAP error message OPS_SE_INV017 indicates that there are no cancellable goods movements for the specified delivery document. This typically occurs when you attempt to cancel or reverse a goods movement related to a delivery, but the system cannot find any goods movements that can be canceled.
  Cause:
  
  No Cancellable Goods Movements: The delivery may not have any goods movements that are eligible for cancellation. This can happen if the goods movements have already been fully processed or if they were not created correctly.
  Status of the Delivery: The delivery might be in a status that does not allow for cancellation. For example, if the delivery has already been invoiced or if it has been fully processed in the system.
  Document Flow: There may be subsequent documents (like invoices) that prevent the cancellation of the goods movement.
  System Configuration: There might be configuration settings in the system that restrict the cancellation of certain types of goods movements.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Delivery Status: Verify the status of the delivery. If it has been fully processed or invoiced, you may need to reverse the invoice or take other corrective actions before you can cancel the goods movement.
  Review Goods Movements: Use transaction codes like MB03 or MB51 to review the goods movements associated with the delivery. Ensure that there are indeed goods movements that can be canceled.
  Check Document Flow: Use transaction code VL03N to check the document flow for the delivery. Look for any subsequent documents that may be preventing the cancellation.
  Consult with Configuration Team: If you suspect that system configuration is causing the issue, consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings related to goods movements and deliveries.
