  The SAP error message VL163, "Delivery has already been fully confirmed," typically occurs in the context of logistics and delivery processing within the SAP system. This error indicates that the delivery document you are trying to process has already been completely confirmed, meaning that all items in the delivery have been processed and confirmed for shipping.
  Causes:

  Review Confirmation History: Look at the confirmation history to understand what has been processed. This can help identify if there was an error in the previous processing.
  Avoid Duplicate Actions: Ensure that you are not trying to confirm the delivery again. If you need to make changes, you may need to create a new delivery or adjust the existing one if possible.
