  Error Message
  VR118: Delivery overview is not possible because no delivery dates exist
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you try to display or create a delivery overview for a sales order or a customer/material combination, but the system cannot find any delivery dates assigned to the relevant sales order items or schedule lines.
  In SAP, delivery dates are essential for creating and managing deliveries. If no delivery dates exist (for example, if schedule lines are missing or not maintained properly), the system cannot generate a delivery overview.
  Common causes include:
  
  Schedule lines for the sales order items have not been created or maintained.
  The sales order items are not relevant for delivery (e.g., service items or non-stock items without delivery).
  Delivery dates have not been determined or updated due to missing or incorrect master data or configuration.
  The sales order is incomplete or in a status that does not allow delivery processing.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the VR118 error, you need to ensure that delivery dates exist for the sales order items. Steps include:
  
  
  Check Schedule Lines:
  
  Go to the sales order (VA03 or VA02).
  Check the schedule lines for the items (tab "Schedule Lines").
  Verify that delivery dates are maintained and valid.
  
  
  
  Maintain or Create Schedule Lines:
  
  If schedule lines are missing, create or maintain them.
  This can be done manually or by running availability checks (e.g., ATP check) to generate schedule lines.
  
  
  
  Check Item Category and Delivery Relevance:
  
  Verify that the item category is delivery relevant.
  Non-delivery relevant items will not have delivery dates.
  
  
  
  Check Master Data and Configuration:
  
  Ensure that material master data (e.g., MRP type, availability check) is correctly maintained.
  Check sales document type and item category configuration to ensure delivery processing is allowed.
  
  
  
  Run Availability Check:
  
  Perform an availability check to update schedule lines and delivery dates.
  
  
  
  Recreate or Update Sales Order:
  
  Sometimes, re-saving or updating the sales order triggers schedule line creation.
