  Error Message
  VR033: Specification of Deliveries Only Possible for Simulation
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you try to specify or enter delivery quantities or delivery details in a transaction or process where deliveries can only be simulated, not actually created or specified. Typically, this happens in the context of consignment or subcontracting processes, or during availability checks or requirements planning where the system allows you to simulate deliveries to check availability or planning but does not permit actual delivery specification.
  In other words, the system is in a mode or context where delivery quantities are only for simulation purposes (e.g., availability check, planning run), and you are attempting to enter or confirm delivery data as if it were a real delivery.
  
  When Does It Occur?
  
  During availability checks or requirements planning where delivery quantities can be simulated but not confirmed.
  In consignment or subcontracting scenarios where the system restricts delivery specification to simulation mode.
  When trying to manually specify deliveries in a transaction that only supports simulation (e.g., in some planning or evaluation transactions).
  Possibly during transfer postings or stock transport orders in simulation mode.
  
  
  Solution
  
  Check the transaction or process mode: Ensure you are not in a simulation or planning mode. If you want to specify actual deliveries, you need to execute the transaction in the correct mode that allows delivery specification.
  Use the correct transaction: For actual delivery specification, use the appropriate delivery or goods movement transaction (e.g., VL01N for delivery creation) rather than a simulation or planning transaction.
  Review configuration: If this occurs unexpectedly, check the configuration of the relevant process (e.g., consignment, subcontracting, availability check) to ensure that delivery specification is allowed where you are trying to enter it.
  Consult documentation: Review the process documentation or SAP notes related to the specific business process to understand when delivery specification is allowed.
  Check user input: Avoid entering delivery quantities in fields or screens that are meant only for simulation or planning.
  
  
  Related Information
  
  Transaction codes: VL01N (Create Delivery), MD04 (Stock/Requirements List), COHV (Production Order Mass Processing), etc.
  SAP Modules: MM (Materials Management), SD (Sales and Distribution), PP (Production Planning)
  SAP Notes: Search for notes related to VR033 or delivery simulation restrictions.
  Business Process Context: Understanding whether you are in a planning, simulation, or actual execution phase is crucial.
  Availability Check: The system often allows delivery quantity simulation during availability checks but restricts actual delivery specification until confirmed.
  
  
  Summary
  The error VR033 indicates that you are trying to specify delivery quantities in a context where only simulation is allowed. To resolve it, ensure you are working in the correct transaction and mode that permits actual delivery specification, and avoid entering delivery data in simulation-only screens.
