  The SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY_CONF211 with the description "Status 'Invoice' not allowed for IBGI 'Not Allowed'" typically occurs in the context of the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when trying to confirm a delivery or perform an action that is not permitted due to the current status of the inbound delivery or the associated business process.
  Cause:
  
  Status Configuration: The error indicates that the status of the inbound delivery (IBGI) is set to "Not Allowed" for the invoice process. This could be due to configuration settings in the system that restrict certain actions based on the status of the delivery.
  Business Process Flow: The business process may not allow invoicing for the current state of the inbound delivery. For example, if the delivery has not been fully processed or if there are outstanding issues (like quality checks or discrepancies), the system will prevent invoicing.
  Incomplete Data: There may be missing or incomplete data that is required for the invoicing process, leading to the system rejecting the action.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Delivery Status: Review the status of the inbound delivery in the system. Ensure that it is in a state that allows for invoicing. You may need to complete any outstanding processes (like goods receipt or quality inspection) before proceeding.
  Configuration Review: Consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings related to the inbound delivery and invoicing process. Ensure that the status transitions are correctly configured to allow invoicing when appropriate.
  Error Logs: Check the application logs for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context on why the invoicing is not allowed.
  User Authorization: Ensure that the user attempting to perform the invoicing has the necessary authorizations to do so. Sometimes, restrictions can be due to user roles and permissions.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific error message for any additional insights or recommended actions.
  
  Related Information:
