How To Fix VL884 - Send output is blocked for delivery note by delivery block

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: VL -

• Message number: 884

• Message text: Send output is blocked for delivery note by delivery block

Number of entries in table TVIER
The work list for collective delivery processing is determined with an
index table (VEPVG) which contains information on order items to be
delivered. The order data which belongs to the indexes fulfilling the
selection criteria is read and compared with the specifications in the
index table. If the data in VEPVG deviates from the order data, the
order is not being processed further and the system adds an entry with
the order number in table TVIER.
The reason for this data inconsistency may be as follows:
There is a time period in which the system has read the index table but
in which the corresponding orders have not yet been blocked. During
online processing, this is the time when the list of indexes (delivery
due list) is already displayed but has not yet been "saved". If orders
are still being changed during this period, data will be inconsistent.
If the <DS:NA.VL885>number of blocked orders</>, which is also
displayed as a performance measure, is large, the reason explained
above may apply.
Certain circumstances may increase data inconsistency:
a) sorting and remaining in list display for a long time
b) frequent changes in orders ( IDoc entries, etc.)
