  Use Correct Document: If you are trying to process a delivery or transfer order, ensure that you are using the correct document number and that it corresponds to the items you are trying to process.
  Consult with WM Team: If you are unsure about the status of the items or how to proceed, consult with your Warehouse Management team or SAP support for further assistance.
