Once a outbound delivery is created for the sales order, it can not be cancelled but yes it can be totally deleted( Normally if any doc is created and it is cancelled then a new cancellation doc is created against that document). But in SD delivery it can be deleted provided that the delivery document don’t have any post goods issue doc created for it. If for a delivery a post goods issue doc has been created and you want to delete the delivery then the system does not allow to do so until unless the post goods issue doc been cancelled in the Tx- VL09 , the the delivery document can be deleted from Tx- VL02N and the sales order the delivery was referring becomes open for a new delivery.
