  SAP Error Message:
  VO030 Delivery & has status problem: Picking
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to perform an operation on a delivery document (such as goods issue, billing, or subsequent processing) but the delivery is currently in a status that does not allow the requested action. Specifically, the delivery is in the "Picking" status, meaning that the picking process for the delivery is not yet completed or confirmed.
  In SAP Logistics Execution (LE), delivery processing involves several status stages, such as:
  
  Not yet picked
  Picking in process
  Picking completed
  Goods issued
  
  If you attempt to post goods issue or perform other steps before the picking is completed, the system will raise this error.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Picking status means the warehouse staff is still in the process of picking the items for the delivery.
  The system prevents further processing (like goods issue) until picking is confirmed to ensure data consistency and correct inventory management.
  This status is controlled by the Warehouse Management (WM) or Inventory Management (IM) processes depending on your system setup.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Complete the Picking Process:
  
  Check the delivery document in transaction VL02N (Change Outbound Delivery).
  Navigate to the picking tab or warehouse task to confirm that picking is completed.
  If warehouse management is active, confirm picking in the WM system (e.g., via transaction LT12 or LT21).
  Once picking is confirmed, the delivery status will change from "Picking" to "Picked" or "Picking completed".
  
  
  
  Check Warehouse Tasks:
  
  If warehouse tasks are not created or confirmed, create or confirm them.
  Use transactions like LT03 (Create Transfer Order) or LT12 (Confirm Transfer Order).
  
  
  
  Verify Delivery Status:
  
  After picking confirmation, verify the delivery status again.
  You should now be able to proceed with goods issue (transaction VL02N or VL01N).
  
  
  
  If Picking is not required:
  
  In some cases, picking might not be necessary (e.g., direct goods issue).
  Check the delivery type and item category configuration.
  Adjust settings if picking is not required for this delivery type.
