• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VG207 - Requested delivery date copied from item data ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VG207 - Requested delivery date copied from item data
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  The message VG207 is an informational or warning message that appears during the creation or processing of a delivery document in SAP. It indicates that the requested delivery date for the delivery item has been copied from the corresponding sales order item data.
  This typically happens because the delivery document does not have its own explicitly maintained requested delivery date, so SAP takes the date from the sales order item to ensure consistency and proper scheduling.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During delivery creation (e.g., VL01N, VL02N transaction).
  When the delivery item does not have a requested delivery date maintained.
  The system copies the requested delivery date from the sales order item to the delivery item.
  
  
  Is it an error or warning?
  
  VG207 is generally an information or warning message, not an error.
  It informs the user about the source of the requested delivery date.
  It does not stop the processing but serves as a note.
  
  
  Solution / How to handle:
  
  Usually, no corrective action is required because the system is just informing you about the date source.
  If you want to avoid this message or control the requested delivery date explicitly:
  
  Maintain the requested delivery date directly in the delivery item.
  Check the copy control settings between sales order and delivery (transaction VTFL).
  Adjust the delivery scheduling or item data if needed.
  
  
  If the requested delivery date is incorrect or needs adjustment, update it in the sales order or delivery accordingly.
