• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VW251 - Delivery & in shipment & is not relevant for GI ?

  The SAP error message VW251 indicates that a delivery is in a shipment and is not relevant for Goods Issue (GI). This typically occurs in the context of logistics and shipping processes within SAP, particularly when dealing with deliveries that are part of a shipment.
  Cause:
  
  Delivery Status: The delivery is currently part of a shipment, which means it is not available for a goods issue. The system prevents the goods issue from being processed to maintain the integrity of the shipment.

  Solution:
  
  Check Shipment Status: Verify if the delivery is indeed part of a shipment. You can do this by checking the shipment document in SAP.
  Remove from Shipment: If the delivery needs to be processed for goods issue, you may need to remove it from the shipment. This can typically be done in the shipment document by selecting the delivery and choosing the option to remove it.
  Complete Shipment: If the shipment is complete and the delivery is no longer needed, ensure that the shipment is processed and closed properly.
  Reprocess Delivery: After removing the delivery from the shipment, you can then proceed with the goods issue process.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for handling deliveries and shipments to ensure compliance with business processes.
