Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Supplier Invoicing.
  2. Go to view Landed Cost Invoice Items.
  3. Search and open the affected allocation document.
  4. Add the inbound delivery in the inbound delivery field under the item and click on Distribute.
  5. You see the error message: Inbound delivery XYZ not valid for distribution (XYZ refers to Inbound Delivery ID).

Cause

The affected allocation document is unable to process the request with the inbound delivery because the inbound delivery falls into one of the below categories.

  1. The status of the inbound delivery is Cancelled.
  2. The inbound delivery is not a standard supplier inbound delivery but is the delivery about other flows ( viz., customer return, third party order fulfillment, etc.).

Resolution

To proceed with the inbound delivery in the allocation document, the inbound delivery should fall into the below category.

  1. The status of the inbound delivery is Not Cancelled.
  2. The inbound delivery is a standard supplier inbound delivery.

The selection of inbound delivery as per the above-selected classification would no longer give you the error message.
