  If the goods issue has not been processed, complete the goods issue for the delivery. This can typically be done through the EWM interface or relevant transaction codes.
  
  
  
  Review Customizing Settings:
  
  If the goods issue has been processed and you are still encountering the error, review the customizing settings related to delivery and invoicing. You may need to check the following:
  
  The configuration for the delivery document type.
