  Error Message
  VP461 - Ship-to party & blocked for delivery (&)
  
  The ampersand (&) is a placeholder for the ship-to party number in the message.
  
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when the ship-to party assigned to a sales document or delivery is blocked for delivery in the system. This means that the customer (ship-to party) has a delivery block set in their master data, preventing the creation or processing of deliveries for that party.
  The delivery block can be set for various reasons, such as:
  
  Credit issues
  Quality problems
  Administrative holds
  Customer-specific restrictions
  
  
  Where is the Block Set?
  The delivery block for the ship-to party is usually maintained in the Customer Master Data under the Sales Area Data or Shipping Data.
  
  Transaction: VD02 (Change Customer)
  Navigate to: Sales Area Data ? Shipping tab
  Field: Delivery Block
  
  If this field is set, deliveries cannot be created for this ship-to party until the block is removed.
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the Delivery Block:
  
  Go to transaction VD03 (Display Customer).
  Enter the ship-to party number.
  Navigate to the Sales Area Data ? Shipping tab.
  Check if the Delivery Block field is set.
  
  
  
  Remove or Adjust the Delivery Block:
  
  If the block is no longer valid, remove it using VD02.
  If the block is valid, coordinate with the responsible department (e.g., credit control, quality management) to resolve the underlying issue.
  
  
  
  Reprocess the Delivery:
  
  After removing the block, try to create or process the delivery again.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Notes
  
  Sometimes, the delivery block can also be set at the Sales Document level or Delivery Document level. Check if there are any delivery blocks in the sales order or delivery header.
  The delivery block can also be set in Transaction VL02N (Change Outbound Delivery) in the delivery header.
  If the block is set due to credit issues, check the credit management status.
  If the block is set due to quality or other reasons, coordinate with the respective department.
