  The SAP error message V2255 indicates that there is an issue with changing the "Shipping Point" for a specific item in a sales document. This error typically arises when there are certain conditions or settings in the system that prevent the modification of the shipping point after the document has been created or processed.
  Cause:
  
  Document Status: The sales document may be in a status that does not allow changes. For example, if the document has already been processed (e.g., delivery created, billing document created), changes to certain fields like the shipping point may be restricted.
  Customizing Settings: The system may have been configured to restrict changes to the shipping point based on specific criteria, such as the document type or the status of the sales order.

  Check Document Status: Verify the status of the sales document. If it has already been processed, you may need to create a new document or reverse the existing one to make changes.
