• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VL110 - Item & cannot be deleted (WM status) ?

  The SAP error message VL110 "Item & cannot be deleted (WM status)" typically occurs when you attempt to delete a line item from a delivery document in the SAP system, but the item has a Warehouse Management (WM) status that prevents deletion. This status indicates that the item is either in a state of being processed or has already been processed in a way that does not allow for deletion.
  Causes:
  
  WM Status: The item has a WM status that indicates it is currently being processed, such as being picked, packed, or in transit.
  Open Transactions: There may be open transactions related to the item, such as stock movements or inventory counts.
  Document Flow: The item may be linked to other documents (e.g., goods issue, goods receipt) that prevent its deletion.
  System Configuration: Certain configurations in the WM module may restrict the deletion of items based on their status.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check WM Status: Review the WM status of the item. You can do this by navigating to the relevant delivery document and checking the item details. If the item is in a status that allows for processing, you may need to complete or cancel those processes first.
  
  
  Complete Open Transactions: Ensure that there are no open transactions related to the item. If there are, complete or cancel those transactions before attempting to delete the item again.
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like VL02N (Change Outbound Delivery) to check the item status and make necessary adjustments. If the item is in a status that allows for changes, you may be able to modify it instead of deleting it.
  
  
  Consult with WM Team: If you are unsure about the WM status or how to proceed, consult with your Warehouse Management team or SAP support team. They can provide insights into the specific status and any necessary actions.
  
  
  Check Document Flow: Review the document flow for the delivery item to see if it is linked to other documents that may be preventing deletion. You can use transaction code VL03N (Display Outbound Delivery) to view the document flow.
  
  
  System Configuration Review: If the issue persists, it may be necessary to review the system configuration related to WM and delivery processing. This may require assistance from an SAP Basis or configuration expert.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as VL01N (Create Outbound Delivery), VL02N, VL03N, and LT03 (Transfer Order).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation on Warehouse Management and delivery processing for more detailed information on item statuses and their implications.
