• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VN082 - Enter a dispatch time ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VN082 - Enter a dispatch time
  
  Cause:
  The error message VN082 occurs when the system expects a dispatch time to be entered for a delivery or shipment document, but this field is left blank. The dispatch time is a required field in certain logistics processes, especially when the system is configured to require time details along with the dispatch date.
  This typically happens in the following scenarios:
  
  When creating or processing a delivery document (e.g., outbound delivery) and the dispatch time is mandatory.
  When the system settings or user exit/enhancements enforce the entry of dispatch time.
  When the delivery type or shipping point configuration requires a dispatch time.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error VN082, you need to enter a valid dispatch time in the delivery or shipment document. Here are the steps:
  
  
  Enter Dispatch Time Manually:
  
  Go to the delivery document (e.g., VL01N, VL02N).
  Navigate to the Shipping tab or the relevant section where dispatch date/time is maintained.
  Enter the dispatch time along with the dispatch date.
  Save the document.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  If you want to avoid entering dispatch time manually every time, check the configuration in SPRO under:
  
  Logistics Execution ? Shipping ? Basic Shipping Functions ? Delivery Processing ? Define Shipping Point and Goods Receiving Point.
  Or check the settings for the delivery type under:
  
  Logistics Execution ? Shipping ? Deliveries ? Define Delivery Types.
  
  
  
  
  Verify if the dispatch time is set as mandatory.
  Adjust the settings if dispatch time is not required for your business process.
  
  
  
  User Exits or Enhancements:
  
  Check if there are any user exits or BAdIs implemented that enforce the dispatch time entry.
  If so, review the logic and adjust it if necessary.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: VL01N (Create Outbound Delivery), VL02N (Change Outbound Delivery), VL10B (Purchase Orders Due for Delivery), VT01N (Create Shipment).
  Field Name: Dispatch Time is usually stored in the delivery header data (e.g., field VTTK-ZEIT).
  SAP Notes: Sometimes SAP releases notes related to dispatch time issues; check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant notes.
  Business Impact: Without dispatch time, scheduling and transportation planning may be incomplete or inaccurate, affecting shipment execution and tracking.
  
  
  Summary:
  
  Cause: Dispatch time is missing but required.
  Solution: Enter the dispatch time in the delivery/shipment document or adjust configuration to make it optional.
  Check: Delivery type settings, shipping point configuration, and any custom code enforcing dispatch time.
