  SAP Error Message:
  
  VR617 - Line structure & deleted
  
  Cause:
  The error message VR617 typically occurs in the context of SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) or Logistics Invoice Verification (LIV) processes. It indicates that the system is trying to process or reference a line item structure that has already been deleted or does not exist anymore.
  More specifically, this error arises when:
  
  A document line item (e.g., in a billing document, delivery, or invoice) has been deleted or marked for deletion, but the system or a user action attempts to access or modify it.
  There is an inconsistency in the document flow or line item references, such as trying to update or post a document with line items that are no longer valid.
  The line structure in the document is inconsistent or corrupted due to previous incomplete processing or manual changes.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the VR617 error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Document Line Items:
  
  Verify the status of the line items in the document (sales order, delivery, billing document, or invoice).
  Ensure that no line items referenced in the process are deleted or marked for deletion.
  
  
  
  Correct Document Flow:
  
  Use transaction codes like VA03 (Display Sales Order), VL03N (Display Delivery), or VF03 (Display Billing Document) to check the document flow and line item status.
  If a line item was deleted unintentionally, consider recreating the line item or adjusting the document accordingly.
  
  
  
  Recreate or Adjust Document:
  
  If the document is inconsistent, you may need to cancel or reverse the document and recreate it properly.
  For billing documents, you might need to cancel the billing document and create a new one without referencing deleted line items.
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Code or User Exits:
  
  If custom enhancements or user exits are involved in document processing, verify that they handle deleted line items correctly.
  Adjust the custom code to avoid referencing deleted line items.
