Environment

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Outbound Delivery Control work center.
  2. Select the Customer Demand view.
  3. Search for the Sales Order ID ABC (ABC represents the ID of the Sales Order).

Cause

The reason this Sales Order is blocked is because, when the document was created or during its last change, you had an active Sales Order Approval Process

As the document was not approved and the Sales Order Approval Process was de-scoped from the system, you cannot send the document for approval and it remains blocked.
