  The SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY266 indicates that an outbound delivery order is being created or processed that contains only value items or text items, which is not allowed in the system. This error typically arises in the context of the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  The outbound delivery order is created with items that are either:
  
  Value items (items that do not have a physical quantity associated with them, such as services or fees).
  Text items (items that are used for documentation purposes and do not represent tangible goods).
  
  
  The system is configured to require that outbound delivery orders must contain at least one item that has a physical quantity (i.e., stock items).
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Outbound Delivery Order:

  Review Configuration Settings:
  
  If you believe that the configuration should allow for value or text items in certain scenarios, review the settings in the EWM configuration. This may involve checking the settings for outbound delivery processing to see if adjustments can be made.
