SAP Message VSB251 - No delivery found for the transferred number

Diagnosis
The system could not determine a sales document (SD delivery) with thedata contained in the IDoc.

Procedure
Whether a sales document (SD delivery) is found or not, depends on theone hand on the determined sold-to party, and on the other, on thetransferred number for determining the sales document. If the deliveryis not determined directly (but via delivery orders, external agentconsignment issue, and so on), the transferred materials or customermaterials are also used for determining the sales document.
The system first tries to determine the sold-to party using entries inCustomizing table T661W.
After, the system tries to find a respective sales document for thesold-to party using the transferred number according to the "Type ofdetermination of the sales document" (setting in "input parametercustomer", transaction OVD7).
The following cases of sales document determination can occur here:

  • No valid sales document exists for the transferred number.

  • The sales document determined, and the sold-to party contained therein
  • do not correspond with the previously determined sold-to party.
    If sales document determination takes place indirectly, (delivery order,external agent consignment issue), the following case can also occur:
    • There are no sales documents for the materials or customer materials in
    • the IDoc.
      If this is the case, the following is a list of possible deliveries as aresult of transferred number and sold-to party (without consideration ofmaterial) :
      V1
      V2
      V3
      V4
      Using the function , you can either change the numbertransferred for determining the sales document, or you can change thedata for determining the sold-to party.
      If this is an example of sales document determination using materials orcustomer materials, you have to decide which delivery is meant. In thiscase, you have to change the transferred number for determining thesales document to the internal delivery number, and the category fordelivery determination (CatDel) to '061' (internal delivery notenumber). The new start of the verification step then ends again, howevera message is issued that the material or customer material is notavailable in the delivery. This error must also be considered and theverification step must also be restarted once again.
      In all cases, you should already have analyzed what has caused theerror.
      Example:
      ---------
      Your partner, sold-to party 7001, provides you with SD delivery notenumbers for determining sales documents that should be used in thecredit memo process.
      The transferred number for determining the sales document was 80087.
      In the system you find a delivery with the number 80078 for sold-toparty. The delivery contains the same materials as specified in thetransfer.
      The reason for the error is that the last two digits of the number havebeen swapped.
      Change number 80087 to 80078. After you have restarted the verificationstep, the delivery is determined and the error disappears.
