VO247 - Details

• SAP Error Message:
  VO247 - Shipping processing not possible for returns to supplier in plant &
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to perform shipping processing (e.g., create a delivery) for a return to vendor (returns to supplier) in a plant where shipping processing is not allowed or not configured for such transactions.
  In other words, the system is preventing the creation of a delivery document for a return to vendor because the plant settings do not permit shipping processing for returns.
  
  Explanation:
  
  In SAP, returns to vendor (return deliveries) can be processed with or without shipping.
  The plant master data and shipping point determination settings control whether shipping processing is possible.
  If the plant is not set up to allow shipping processing for returns to vendor, the system throws this error.
  This is often controlled by the Shipping Point Determination and Shipping Data in the plant master or material master.
