How to fix this error?

Whether a sales document (SD delivery) is found or not, depends on the
one hand on the determined sold-to party, and on the other, on the
transferred number for determining the sales document. If the delivery
is not determined directly (but via delivery orders, external agent
consignment issue, and so on), the transferred materials or customer
materials are also used for determining the sales document.
The system first tries to determine the sold-to party using entries in
Customizing table T661W.
After, the system tries to find a respective sales document for the
sold-to party using the transferred number according to the "Type of
determination of the sales document" (setting in "input parameter
customer", transaction OVD7).
The following cases of sales document determination can occur here:
No valid sales document exists for the transferred number.
The sales document determined, and the sold-to party contained therein
do not correspond with the previously determined sold-to party.
If sales document determination takes place indirectly, (delivery order,
external agent consignment issue), the following case can also occur:
There are no sales documents for the materials or customer materials in
the IDoc.
If this is the case, the following is a list of possible deliveries as a
result of transferred number and sold-to party (without consideration of
material) :
&V1&
&V2&
&V3&
&V4&
Using the function <Change data>, you can either change the number
transferred for determining the sales document, or you can change the
data for determining the sold-to party.
If this is an example of sales document determination using materials or
customer materials, you have to decide which delivery is meant. In this
case, you have to change the transferred number for determining the
sales document to the internal delivery number, and the category for
delivery determination (CatDel) to '061' (internal delivery note
number). The new start of the verification step then ends again, however
a message is issued that the material or customer material is not
available in the delivery. This error must also be considered and the
verification step must also be restarted once again.
In all cases, you should already have analyzed what has caused the
error.
Example:
---------
Your partner, sold-to party 7001, provides you with SD delivery note
numbers for determining sales documents that should be used in the
credit memo process.
The transferred number for determining the sales document was 80087.
In the system you find a delivery with the number 80078 for sold-to
party. The delivery contains the same materials as specified in the
transfer.
The reason for the error is that the last two digits of the number have
been swapped.
Change number 80087 to 80078. After you have restarted the verification
step, the delivery is determined and the error disappears.
