    The SAP error message OPS_SE_SHP_SC016 "No purchase order item referenced by delivery &1 &2" typically occurs in the context of logistics and shipping processes, particularly when dealing with deliveries that are supposed to be linked to purchase orders. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information for this error:

    Cause:

    1. Missing Purchase Order Reference: The delivery document you are trying to process does not have a valid reference to a purchase order item. This can happen if the delivery was created without a corresponding purchase order or if the reference was deleted or not properly maintained.

    2. Incorrect Delivery Creation: The delivery might have been created incorrectly, or the purchase order item might not be relevant for the delivery due to various reasons (e.g., item status, item type).

    3. Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the data between the delivery and the purchase order, such as mismatched item numbers or incorrect document types.

    4. Document Status: The purchase order item may be in a status that does not allow it to be referenced (e.g., it may be closed or fully delivered).

    Solutions:

    1. Check Purchase Order: Verify that the purchase order exists and that it has the correct items. Ensure that the items are still open and available for delivery.

    2. Review Delivery Document: Check the delivery document for any errors or missing references. Ensure that the delivery is created correctly and that it references the correct purchase order items.

    3. Recreate Delivery: If the delivery was created incorrectly, consider deleting it and recreating it with the correct references to the purchase order items.

    4. Check Item Status: Ensure that the purchase order items are in a status that allows them to be referenced. If they are closed or fully delivered, you may need to adjust the purchase order or create a new one.

    5. Consult SAP Notes: Look for any relevant SAP Notes or updates that might address this specific error. Sometimes, there are known issues or patches that can resolve the problem.

    6. System Configuration: If the issue persists, it may be necessary to check the system configuration or consult with your SAP Basis or technical team to ensure that everything is set up correctly.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as ME23N (Display Purchase Order), VL03N (Display Outbound Delivery), and ME2N (Purchase Orders by PO Number) to help troubleshoot the issue.

    • SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on delivery processing and purchase order management.

    • User Forums and Communities: Engage with SAP user communities or forums where similar issues may have been discussed, and solutions shared.
