SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: V1 - Verkaufsbelegbearbeitung

• Message number: 625

• Message text: Delivery item category & is not provided

What causes this issue?

The system has derived delivery item category &V1& from the transaction
you have processed. However the item does not exist so the system
cannot create a delivery.

System Response

As any further processing of item &V2& is not possible, the system
stops carrying out the check, which will remain unconfirmed. On saving,
it will probably also be cited in the incompletion log.

How to fix this error?

Please ensure that the sales order item category is also defined as an
item category in shipping. If you carry out a product selection, then
set the item category determination in shipping so that it results in a
valid item category.
