  VR439 - Please enter a valid shipping point
  
  Cause:
  The error message VR439 occurs when the system expects a valid shipping point in a transaction (such as creating or processing a delivery, sales order, or outbound delivery), but the shipping point entered is either missing, incorrect, or not valid for the given combination of parameters (like plant, sales organization, or shipping conditions).
  Common causes include:  
  
  Shipping point field is left blank or contains an invalid value.  
  The shipping point entered does not exist in the system.  
  The shipping point is not assigned or configured correctly for the plant or sales area involved.

  Check the Shipping Point entered:  
  
  Verify that the shipping point code entered is correct and exists in the system (transaction OVX9 to display shipping points).

  Use transaction OVXD to check or maintain shipping point determination rules.
