  SAP Error Message: VO052 - "Not possible to move a delivery"
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you attempt to perform a movement or change on a delivery document that is not allowed due to the current status or configuration of the delivery. Common causes include:
  
  The delivery is already fully processed or completed (e.g., goods issue has been posted).
  The delivery is locked or blocked for changes.
  The delivery is in a status that does not permit movement (e.g., delivery is already closed or canceled).
  The system configuration or user authorizations restrict the movement of the delivery.
  Attempting to move a delivery that is referenced or linked to other documents that prevent changes.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the VO052 error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Delivery Status:
  
  Verify the status of the delivery document (VL02N or VL03N).
  Ensure the delivery is not already completed or goods issue posted.
  If goods issue is posted, you cannot move or change the delivery; you may need to reverse the goods issue first (transaction VL09).
  
  
  
  Check for Locks or Blocks:
  
  Check if the delivery is locked by another user or process.
  Remove any blocks or locks if applicable.
  
  
  
  Review Authorizations:
  
  Ensure the user has the necessary authorizations to change or move the delivery.
  
  
  
  Check Document Flow:
  
  Review related documents (sales order, billing document) to ensure no inconsistencies or restrictions.
  
  
  
  Reverse Goods Issue (if applicable):
