• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VLA022 - Selected deliveries are assigned to different shipping points ?

  The SAP error message VLA022 indicates that the selected deliveries are assigned to different shipping points. This typically occurs when you are trying to process multiple deliveries in a transaction (such as creating a shipment or performing a goods movement) that are not compatible due to differing shipping points.
  Cause:
  
  Different Shipping Points: The primary cause of this error is that the deliveries you are trying to process belong to different shipping points. Each delivery is associated with a specific shipping point, and operations that require multiple deliveries must have them all assigned to the same shipping point.
  Delivery Creation: If deliveries were created for different shipping points, they cannot be processed together in certain transactions.
  Master Data Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the master data related to the shipping points, such as incorrect assignment of shipping points to the delivery documents.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Deliveries: Review the deliveries you are trying to process. Ensure that they all belong to the same shipping point. You can do this by checking the delivery documents in the SAP system.
  Process Separately: If the deliveries are indeed assigned to different shipping points, you will need to process them separately. Select deliveries that share the same shipping point for the transaction you are attempting.
  Adjust Master Data: If you find that deliveries should be assigned to the same shipping point based on your business process, you may need to adjust the master data (e.g., customer master, material master) to ensure that future deliveries are created with the correct shipping point.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's guidelines for handling deliveries and shipping points to ensure compliance with business processes.
  
  Related Information:

  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view and modify deliveries and shipping points.
