  Output Type Configuration: The output type for the delivery may not be configured correctly, or it may not be set up to trigger for the specific delivery scenario.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Delivery Status: Verify the status of the delivery in question. Ensure that it is in a state that allows for output processing (e.g., not completed or canceled).

  Navigate to the relevant section for output determination for deliveries.
  Ensure that the output type is correctly configured and assigned to the delivery type you are working with.
  
  
  
  Examine Cross-Docking Settings:
  
  Check the cross-docking settings in your system to ensure that they are set up correctly.

  Check Delivery Document Type:

  User Exits and BAdIs: If custom logic is involved, check for any user exits or BAdIs that may affect output processing.
