VL370 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: VL -

• Message number: 370

• Message text: Delivery is not possible - no reference items exist

What causes this issue?

This outbound delivery cannot complete the order, because there are no
reference items in the delivery.

System Response

To check whether the order items to be delivered can be combined, the
system requires at least one item for the existing outbound delivery
that has not yet been deleted, and that has a reference to an order.
If the system cannot find such a reference item, then the delivery is
rejected. You then need to create a separate outbound delivery for the
sales order.

How to fix this error?

If the outbound delivery does not contain any more items, delete it.
Then create a new outbound delivery for the sales order to be
delivered.
