  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/LPV_CUST012 Labels are only allowed for items typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when there is an attempt to assign labels to a non-item entity, such as a shipment or a transportation unit, rather than to individual items within a shipment.
