  SAP Error Message VO055
  Message Text:
  
  There is an open transfer order &2 (warehouse no. &3) for delivery &1
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you try to create or process a delivery document (e.g., outbound delivery) for which there is already an open (not yet confirmed or closed) transfer order (TO) in the specified warehouse. The system prevents further processing because the existing transfer order must be completed first to maintain consistency in warehouse management and inventory.
  
  Transfer Order (TO): A document used in Warehouse Management (WM) to manage the physical movement of goods within the warehouse.
  The system detects that a TO related to the delivery number (&1) in warehouse (&3) is still open (not confirmed or closed).
  This usually happens when you try to create a new TO or perform a delivery step that conflicts with the existing open TO.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the Open Transfer Order:
  
  Use transaction LT23 (Display Transfer Order) or LT21 (Display Transfer Order by Delivery) to view the open TO &2.
  Verify the status of the TO and the items involved.
  
  
  
  Confirm or Close the Transfer Order:
  
  If the TO is still open because it has not been confirmed, confirm it using transaction LT12 (Confirm Transfer Order).
  If the TO is no longer needed, you may cancel it using LT15 (Delete Transfer Order).
  
  
  
  After confirming or deleting the open TO, retry the delivery processing or TO creation.
  
  
  Check for any inconsistencies:
  
  Sometimes, the TO might be stuck due to system errors or incomplete processes.
  Run consistency checks or consult with your WM team to resolve any underlying issues.

  Modules Involved:
  
  Warehouse Management (WM)
  Logistics Execution (LE)
  
  
  
  Typical Scenario:
  
  When a delivery is created and a TO is generated for picking or movement within the warehouse, the TO must be confirmed before further processing.
  Attempting to create another TO or process the delivery without confirming the existing TO triggers this error.
  
  
  
  Notes:
  
  Always ensure that warehouse processes are completed in sequence to avoid such conflicts.
  Coordination between warehouse operations and logistics execution teams is essential.
