How To Fix VL409 - Distribution-relevant delivery was deleted

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: VL -

• Message number: 409

• Message text: Distribution-relevant delivery was deleted

What causes this issue?

There are items in the delivery that are defined partially for SD
picking and partially for processing in WM. Although all items in the
delivery have a unique warehouse number, the delivery is deleted since
it creates problems during decentralized distribution. A delivery can
only be distributed decentrally if the delivery split function is used
according to warehouse number and if only one consistent picking
technique is used within the delivery.
This situation occurs when
an item appears in the delivery that is relevant for picking but has no
WM-relevant storage location (SD picking).
an item is created together with a WM-relevant item in this delivery.
the delivery type has the indicator "delivery split according to
warehouse number" set.

How to fix this error?

If a text or service item that is preset for SD picking is involved,
the picking relevance should be deactivated in the item category. That
way, a unique warehouse number is determined, resulting in a delivery
within one warehouse number.
However, if the item is relevant for picking, you can use Lean WM or a
WM function to add the item to another delivery.
