• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SPE/VL063 - The storage location cannot be changed in a distributed delivery ?

  The SAP error message /SPE/VL063 indicates that there is an issue with changing the storage location in a distributed delivery. This typically occurs in scenarios where a delivery is split across multiple plants or storage locations, and the system does not allow changes to the storage location due to the nature of the distribution.

  Distributed Delivery: The error arises when you attempt to change the storage location of a material in a delivery that is already distributed across different plants or storage locations. SAP restricts this action to maintain data integrity and consistency.

  Document Status: The delivery document may be in a status that does not allow changes, such as being partially processed or already confirmed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Delivery Status: Ensure that the delivery is in a status that allows changes. If it is already processed or confirmed, you may need to reverse or cancel the delivery before making changes.
  Use the Correct Transaction: If you need to change the storage location, consider using the appropriate transaction or process that allows for such changes, such as creating a new delivery or adjusting the existing one.
  Review Configuration: Consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings related to delivery processing and storage location management. They may need to adjust settings to allow for changes in specific scenarios.
  Manual Adjustment: If the change is necessary, you may need to manually adjust the stock in the respective storage locations and create a new delivery with the correct storage location.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on handling distributed deliveries and storage location changes.
