This error can arise in various scenarios, such as when attempting to create or process a shipment without any associated delivery documents.

  Create Deliveries: If there are no deliveries, create the necessary deliveries and then try to process the shipment again.
  Assign Deliveries: If deliveries exist but are not assigned to the shipment, you can assign them using the appropriate transaction (e.g., using transaction code VT01N for creating shipments).
  Review Shipment Creation Process: Ensure that the process for creating shipments is being followed correctly, and that deliveries are being included as part of the shipment creation.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help resources for any specific configuration settings that may need to be adjusted to allow for the processing of shipments.
