How To Fix VLBAPI008 - CSL: Reference could not be generated

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: VLBAPI - Output Texts for Delivery BAPIs

• Message number: 008

• Message text: CSL: Reference could not be generated

What causes this issue?

A distributed delivery has been changed and saved. During the time in
which the change should have been synchronized with the partner system,
the system could not block the delivery across LUWs (no reference could
be generated).
Either the delivery had not been previously blocked, or there is an
inconsistency in the administration tables for the CSL (cross-system
lock).

System Response

The change cannot be synchronized. The delivery remains blocked and
cannot be processed until the block is removed.

How to fix this error?

Contact SAP Support. In urgent cases, the CSL must be removed manually
and the transaction repeated.
Returncode: &V1&

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
