  The SAP error message /SCMB/DM_DLV118 ASN &1 with ship-from location &2 does not exist typically occurs in the context of Advanced Shipping Notification (ASN) processing within the Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. This error indicates that the system is unable to find a valid shipping location associated with the ASN being processed.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Existent Ship-From Location: The ship-from location specified in the ASN does not exist in the system. This could be due to a typo, incorrect configuration, or the location not being set up in the system.
  Master Data Issues: The master data for the location may not be properly maintained or activated in the system.
  Data Synchronization Issues: If the data is being pulled from an external system, there may be synchronization issues leading to missing or incorrect data.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or access the specified ship-from location.
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify Ship-From Location: Check the ASN details to ensure that the ship-from location specified is correct. Look for any typos or incorrect entries.
  Check Location Master Data: Go to the location master data in SAP and verify that the ship-from location exists and is active. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., SPRO for configuration or OVX5 for location maintenance).
  Create/Activate Location: If the location does not exist, you may need to create it or activate it if it has been deactivated.
  Data Synchronization: If the data is coming from an external system, ensure that the data synchronization processes are functioning correctly and that the ship-from location is being sent to SAP.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user processing the ASN has the necessary authorizations to access the ship-from location.
