  The SAP error message /VSO/P_MSG212 indicates that there are incompletely picked deliveries associated with a shipment number. This typically occurs in the context of logistics and shipping processes within SAP, particularly when dealing with outbound deliveries.
  Cause:
  The error arises when a shipment is created or processed, but one or more of the deliveries included in that shipment have not been fully picked. This means that the items that were supposed to be picked for those deliveries are either not available, not picked, or only partially picked. 
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Delivery Status: 
  
  Go to the delivery document associated with the shipment and check the picking status. You can do this by navigating to the delivery document in SAP and reviewing the picking information.
  
  
  
  Complete Picking:
  
  If the deliveries are only partially picked, you will need to complete the picking process for those deliveries. This can involve:
  
  Picking the remaining items.
  Confirming the picking in the system.
  
  
  
  
  
  Adjust Shipment:

  Editing the shipment document and removing the affected deliveries.
  Saving the changes and reprocessing the shipment.
  
  
  
  
  
  Recheck Inventory:
  
  Ensure that the inventory levels are sufficient to fulfill the deliveries. If stock is missing, you may need to procure or transfer stock to fulfill the delivery requirements.
  
  
  
  Consult Logs and Documentation:
  
  Review any logs or documentation related to the picking process to identify any issues that may have caused the incomplete picking.
