  The SAP error message /SPE/CP104 indicates that there is a temporary delivery already existing for the inbound delivery you are trying to process. This typically occurs in the context of handling inbound deliveries in the SAP system, particularly when using the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module or similar functionalities.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the existence of a temporary delivery that has not been completed or has not been properly processed. This can happen due to various reasons, such as:
  
  An incomplete or failed previous processing of the inbound delivery.
  A system error that left a temporary delivery record in the database.
  Concurrent processing attempts on the same inbound delivery.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check for Existing Temporary Deliveries:
  
  Use transaction codes like VL33N (Display Inbound Delivery) or EWM transactions to check if there is an existing temporary delivery for the same inbound delivery number.
  Look for any entries that might indicate an incomplete or pending status.
  
  
  
  Complete or Delete the Temporary Delivery:
  
  If you find a temporary delivery that is incomplete, try to complete it if possible.

  Check for Locks:
  
  Ensure that there are no locks on the inbound delivery that might be preventing processing. You can check for locks using transaction SM12.
  
  
  
  Review System Logs:
