• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /CWM/LES005 - You cannot put back & & as the delivery item only contains & & ?

  The SAP error message /CWM/LES005 typically occurs in the context of warehouse management and logistics execution when trying to put back a delivery item that is not eligible for put-back due to its current status or characteristics. The message indicates that the delivery item you are trying to put back only contains certain characteristics (like quantity, batch, etc.) that do not allow for the put-back operation.
  Cause:
  
  Item Status: The delivery item may be in a status that does not allow for put-back. For example, it might be already confirmed for shipping or has been partially delivered.
  Quantity Issues: The quantity of the item being put back may not match the quantity available in the delivery. If the item is already fully picked or packed, it cannot be put back.
  Batch Management: If batch management is enabled, the batch associated with the item may not allow for put-back due to restrictions or because it has already been used in a different process.
  Delivery Item Characteristics: The characteristics of the delivery item (like serial numbers, handling units, etc.) may not match the requirements for a put-back operation.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Item Status: Review the status of the delivery item in the system. If it is confirmed or in a state that does not allow for put-back, you may need to reverse or cancel the confirmation first.
  Verify Quantities: Ensure that the quantity you are trying to put back matches the quantity available in the delivery. If the item has been fully picked, you may need to adjust the delivery or create a new delivery for the remaining quantity.
  Batch and Serial Number Check: If batch management is in use, check the batch status and ensure that the batch is eligible for put-back. If serial numbers are involved, ensure that the serial numbers are correctly assigned and available for put-back.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for handling put-back operations, as there may be specific procedures to follow.
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize relevant transaction codes (like VL02N for changing deliveries) to check the details of the delivery item and make necessary adjustments.
