VL111 - Details

• The SAP error message VL111 ("Item & cannot be deleted (GM status)") typically occurs when you are trying to delete a line item in a delivery document, but the item is blocked due to its Goods Movement (GM) status. This can happen for various reasons, often related to the status of the goods movement or the associated inventory.
  
  Cause:
  
  Goods Movement Status: The item you are trying to delete has a status that prevents deletion. This could be due to the item being part of a goods movement that has already been processed.
  Stock Status: The item may be in a stock status that does not allow for deletion, such as being in a reserved or blocked stock.
  Document Flow: There may be subsequent documents (like invoices or other deliveries) that are dependent on the item, preventing its deletion.
  Open Transactions: There could be open transactions or processes that are still referencing the item.
