  SAP Error Message:
  VO047 - Shipment &1 is not a loaded goods issue shipment
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to perform an operation (such as posting a goods issue or confirming a shipment) on a shipment that has not been flagged or processed as a "loaded goods issue shipment." In other words, the system expects the shipment to be in a status where goods have been loaded and a goods issue has been posted, but the shipment is either not yet loaded or the goods issue has not been posted.
  Common scenarios causing this error include:
  
  Attempting to confirm or close a shipment before the goods issue has been posted.
  Trying to perform shipment-related activities that require the shipment to be in a "loaded" status, but the shipment is still open or in an earlier stage.
  Incorrect shipment type or process flow where the shipment is not set up for goods issue handling.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Check Shipment Status:
  
  Verify the current status of the shipment in transaction VT02N (Change Shipment) or VT03N (Display Shipment).
  Ensure that the shipment has been processed for goods issue and is marked as "loaded."
  
  
  
  Post Goods Issue:
  
  If the goods issue has not been posted, post it using transaction VL02N (Change Outbound Delivery) or VL06O (Outbound Delivery Monitor).
  Confirm that the delivery associated with the shipment has a goods issue posted.
  
  
  
  Correct Process Flow:
  
  Follow the correct process sequence: create shipment ? assign deliveries ? load shipment ? post goods issue ? confirm shipment.
  Avoid skipping the goods issue posting step before shipment confirmation.
  
  
  
  Check Shipment Type and Configuration:
  
  Verify that the shipment type is configured to handle goods issue postings.
  Check customizing settings in SPRO under Logistics Execution ? Shipping ? Shipment ? Define Shipment Types.
  
  
  
  Reprocess Shipment:
  
  If the shipment is in an inconsistent state, you may need to reverse or cancel the shipment and reprocess it correctly.
