• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TR_AUSL358 - Delivery request &1 already exists ?

  The SAP error message TR_AUSL358, which states "Delivery request &1 already exists," typically occurs in the context of logistics and delivery processing within the SAP system. This error indicates that there is an attempt to create a delivery request for a document (like a sales order or a purchase order) that already has an existing delivery request associated with it.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Delivery Request: The most common cause is that a delivery request for the specified document (indicated by &1) has already been created. This could happen due to:
  
  Manual entry errors where the user attempts to create a delivery request multiple times.
  System processes that automatically generate delivery requests, leading to duplicates.
  Data inconsistencies or issues in the database.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Document Reference: The document reference might be incorrect or not properly linked, leading the system to believe that a delivery request already exists.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Delivery Requests: 
  
  Use transaction codes like VL03N (Display Outbound Delivery) or VL10B (Purchase Orders Due for Delivery) to check if a delivery request already exists for the specified document.
  If a delivery request is found, you may need to use it instead of trying to create a new one.
  
  
  
  Review Document Status: 
  
  Ensure that the document (sales order, purchase order, etc.) is in a status that allows for delivery requests to be created. If the document is already processed or completed, you may need to adjust the status or create a new document.
  
  
  
  Delete or Modify Existing Request: 
  
  If the existing delivery request is no longer needed, you may consider deleting it (if allowed) or modifying it to meet your current needs.
  
  
  
  Consult with Technical Support: 
  
  If you are unable to resolve the issue, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or technical team. They can help investigate the underlying data and system processes that may be causing the error.
  
  
  
  Check for Customizations: 
  
  If your SAP system has custom developments or enhancements, ensure that they are not interfering with the standard delivery request creation process.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as VL01N (Create Outbound Delivery), VL02N (Change Outbound Delivery), and VL03N (Display Outbound Delivery).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. SAP Notes can provide additional context or solutions for specific scenarios.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to delivery processing and logistics to understand the workflow and requirements for creating delivery requests.
