  Solution:
  
  Check Delivery Document: Verify that the delivery document has a service agent assigned. You can do this by navigating to the delivery document in SAP and checking the relevant fields.
  Assign Service Agent: If the service agent is missing, you can assign it manually in the delivery document before creating the shipment.

  Document Type Settings: Review the settings for the document types involved (both delivery and shipment) to ensure they are configured correctly to allow for the transfer of service agent data.
  Data Consistency: Ensure that all required fields in the delivery document are filled out correctly and that there are no inconsistencies that could prevent the copying of data.
