  SAP Error Message:
  WPOC011 - Deliveries already exist for purchase order &, item &
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you attempt to perform an action on a purchase order (PO) item for which one or more deliveries have already been created. Common scenarios include:
  
  Trying to delete or change a PO item that has outbound deliveries linked to it.
  Attempting to change the PO item quantity or other key data that conflicts with existing deliveries.
  Trying to create a new delivery or goods receipt that conflicts with the existing delivery documents.
  
  In essence, the system prevents changes to the PO item because deliveries referencing it already exist, ensuring data consistency and integrity.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Deliveries:
  
  Use transaction VL03N (Display Outbound Delivery) or ME23N (Display Purchase Order) to identify deliveries linked to the PO item.
  Verify the status and details of these deliveries.
  
  
  
  Adjust Your Process:
  
  If you want to change the PO item, you may need to first cancel or delete the existing deliveries (if business process allows).
  If deliveries cannot be deleted (e.g., already posted goods movements), you cannot change the PO item in ways that conflict with these deliveries.
  
  
  
  Create Subsequent Deliveries:
  
  If you want to create additional deliveries, ensure that the PO item quantity and delivery schedules are consistent with existing deliveries.
  
  
  
  Consult Business Process:
  
  Coordinate with logistics and procurement teams to understand if deliveries can be reversed or if PO changes are necessary.
  Sometimes, creating a new PO item or a new PO is the better approach.

  Notes:
