  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The delivery type for the material and movement type combination is not configured in the system. This can happen if the necessary settings in the customizing (SPRO) are not maintained.
  Incorrect Material Master Data: The material master data may not be set up correctly, leading to the system being unable to determine the appropriate delivery type.
  Movement Type Issues: The movement type specified may not be valid for the delivery type or may not be properly defined in the system.
  Delivery Type Not Assigned: The delivery type may not be assigned to the relevant shipping point or plant.

  Navigate to Logistics Execution -> Shipping -> Basic Shipping Functions -> Delivery -> Define Delivery Types.
