This error typically arises in the context of handling consignment stock in SAP, where specific rules govern how materials can be returned.
  Cause:
  
  Consignment Stock Handling: In SAP, consignment stock is owned by the vendor until it is consumed or returned. Therefore, any return delivery of consignment materials must reference the original purchasing document (such as a purchase order) to ensure proper tracking and accounting.

  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that restrict the return delivery process for consignment materials.
  
  Solution:
  
  Reference the Purchasing Document: Ensure that when creating the return delivery, you reference the original purchasing document (purchase order) associated with the consignment stock. This can typically be done in the return delivery transaction by entering the relevant purchase order number.
  Check Material Type: Verify that the material type is correctly set up for consignment stock in the material master. Ensure that the material is indeed classified as a consignment material.
