Symptom
- Unable to delete an outbound delivery
- Error message: "delivery cannot be deleted because it is planned on a transport"
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Attempt to delete an outbound delivery document.
- The system prevents deletion and displays the error: "delivery cannot be deleted because it is planned on a transport".
Cause
- The outbound delivery item contains no material or no quantities.
- The Transportation Planning Status at header level is C – Completed Planned, indicating it was planned.
- There is no freight unit in the document flow, leaving the document flagged as planned and not directly deletable.
Resolution
- Edit the outbound delivery and insert at least one delivery item with a quantity to recreate the Freight Unit (FU) automatically.
- Plan the recreated FU into a temporary (dummy) Freight Order (FO) and save.
- Remove the FU from the dummy FO (select the FU in the FO and delete it) to reset the transportation planning status of the outbound delivery.
- Open the Manage Freight Units app, select the FU related to the delivery, and choose Delete Delivery to remove the outbound delivery.
- Cancel the dummy Freight Order(s) created in step 2.
