This error indicates that the system requires the shipping date to be entered manually, rather than being automatically determined by the system.
  Cause:

  Logistics Execution > Shipping > Deliveries > Define Delivery Types
  
  
  
  
  Review Business Rules: Consult with the business process owners to understand if there are specific rules that necessitate manual entry of the shipping date.
  Data Validation: Ensure that all necessary data (like shipping point, transportation planning, etc.) is correctly maintained in the system to facilitate automatic date determination.
