How To Fix VR541 - Specify at least one "Delivery creation date to"

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: VR - Output for SD Reporting

• Message number: 541

• Message text: Specify at least one "Delivery creation date to"

What causes this issue?

This selection criterium restricts the period for the delivery creation
date.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

You can only select the sales order items that have at least one
schedule line due for shipping during the interval and you can only
display the schedule lines whose deliveries should be generated within
this interval (according to the automatic delivery scheduling in sales
order processing).
We recommend that you leave the delivery creation date blank and only
enter a value in the 'delivery creation date to' field. This is because
order delivery begins with the oldest open schedule lines regardless of
whether they are displayed in the extended delivery due list or not.
If you enter a date in the 'delivery creation date from' field, you run
the risk of delivering schedule lines from before this date although
they did not appear in the delivery due list.
If you leave the 'delivery creation date to' field blank but specify a
from date, the system only selects sales orders with schedule lines due
for shipping on that day.

  Cause:
  This error occurs when you are trying to create or process a delivery in SAP (typically in transaction VL01N, VL10B, VL10D, or similar delivery creation transactions) and the system requires a date range for the "Delivery creation date" but you have not specified the "Delivery creation date to" field.
