  The SAP error message WOD1041 indicates that there is an issue with the delivery of a deleted item in a sales order or delivery document. Specifically, it means that the system is trying to process a delivery for an item that has been marked as deleted, and therefore cannot be completed.
  Cause:
  
  Deleted Item: The item in question has been marked as deleted in the sales order or delivery document. This could happen if the item was removed from the order or if it was flagged for deletion.
  Inconsistent Data: There may be inconsistencies in the data where the system is trying to process a delivery for an item that no longer exists in the order.

  Check for Inconsistencies: Run consistency checks on the sales order and delivery documents to ensure that there are no other inconsistencies that could be causing the issue.
