  SAP Error Message:
  WTADDI_APPL051
  
  Text: Status of supplementary logistics service &1 (&2) is set to &3 (&4)
  
  Cause:
  This error message occurs when the status of a supplementary logistics service (such as packaging, transportation, or other additional services linked to a delivery or shipment) is set to a particular status that is not allowed or expected in the current process step. The placeholders (&1, &2, &3, &4) represent:
  
  &1: The type of supplementary logistics service (e.g., packaging, transportation)
  &2: The identifier or code of the supplementary service
  &3: The status type (e.g., "overall status", "processing status")
  &4: The actual status value that caused the error
  
  Typically, this means that the system detected an inconsistency or an invalid status for the supplementary service, which prevents further processing of the delivery or shipment.
  
  Common Scenarios:
  
  Attempting to change or process a delivery when the supplementary service is in a status that does not allow such changes.
  The supplementary service might be already completed, canceled, or in an error state.
  Status inconsistencies due to manual changes or incomplete processing steps.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Status of the Supplementary Service:
  
  Use transaction codes related to logistics services or delivery processing (e.g., VL02N for delivery change).
  Navigate to the supplementary logistics services tab or details.
  Identify the current status of the service &2.
  
  
  
  Correct the Status:
  
  If the status is incorrect or stuck, try to reset or update it to a valid status.
  This might involve completing pending steps, canceling the service properly, or reprocessing the service.
  
  
  
  Review Customizing Settings:
  
  Check the configuration for supplementary logistics services in SPRO under Logistics Execution or Shipping.
  Verify allowed status transitions and ensure that the current process step is valid for the service status.

  Sometimes, reprocessing the delivery or shipment after correcting the status resolves the issue.
