  This error occurs when the system tries to process or display a Purchase Order (PO) item that is expected to have delivery schedule lines (stored in table EKET), but none are found for the specified PO number (&1).
  Common causes include:
  
  The PO item was created without any delivery schedule lines.
  The delivery schedule lines were deleted or not maintained.
  The PO item is of a type that does not require delivery schedules, but the system or process expects them.
  Data inconsistency or incomplete PO data due to manual changes or system errors.
  
  
  When does this error typically occur?
  
  During goods receipt processing or delivery creation when the system checks for scheduled delivery dates.
  When running reports or transactions that require delivery schedule data.

  Check the PO item for delivery schedules:
