• Message class: VC - SD Customizing

• Message number: 010

• Message text: 'Item rel. for delivery' only allowed from item categories A and B

What causes this issue?

You have selected the 'Item Relevant for Delivery' field, although the
item type does not have value A or B.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

System Response

This combination is not allowed and therefore cannot be saved.

How to fix this error?

If the item is a value item or text item, set the item type to 'A# or
'B'. Otherwise deselect the #Item Relevant for Delivery# field (even if
the item category is relevant for delivery). You configure this property
in transaction VOV6 in the respective schedule line category.
Explanation
Item types A (value item) and B (text item) usually do not have any
schedule lines. The #Item Relevant for Delivery# field in Customizing
for the item type is therefore only definitive for this particular case.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VC010 - 'Item rel. for delivery' only allowed from item categories A and B ?

  The SAP error message VC010, which states "Item rel. for delivery only allowed from item categories A and B," typically occurs in the context of sales and distribution (SD) when trying to process a delivery or sales order that includes items with inappropriate item categories.
  Cause:
  The error arises because the item category of the line item you are trying to process does not allow for delivery. In SAP, item categories are defined with specific settings that determine how they behave in various processes, including sales order processing and delivery. Item categories A and B are generally configured to allow delivery, while other item categories may not be.
  Common Reasons for the Error:
  
  Incorrect Item Category: The item category assigned to the line item does not permit delivery.
  Configuration Issues: The item category settings in the configuration may not be set up correctly to allow delivery for certain items.
  Sales Document Type: The sales document type being used may not be compatible with the item category of the line item.
  Item Category Determination: The item category determination logic may not be correctly configured, leading to the assignment of an inappropriate item category.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the VC010 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Item Category:

  Review Configuration:
