• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EWA533 - Removal orders cannot be prorated ?

  The SAP error message EWA533, which states "Removal orders cannot be prorated," typically occurs in the context of inventory management and logistics when attempting to process removal orders that cannot be divided or prorated among different stock items or batches. This error can arise in various scenarios, such as during the creation of transfer orders, stock removals, or when trying to adjust quantities in a removal order.
  Cause:
  
  Incompatible Quantities: The quantities specified in the removal order may not be compatible with the available stock, making it impossible to prorate the order.
  Batch Management: If batch management is enabled, the system may not allow prorating if the removal order is linked to specific batches that cannot be split.
  Stock Type Restrictions: Certain stock types (e.g., blocked stock, quality inspection stock) may not be eligible for prorating.
  Configuration Settings: The system configuration may not allow for prorating of removal orders based on business rules or settings in the material master.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Quantities: Verify the quantities in the removal order and ensure they match the available stock. Adjust the order if necessary.
  Review Batch Management: If batch management is in use, check if the removal order is linked to specific batches. If so, consider adjusting the order to use a single batch or ensure that the batches can be prorated.
  Stock Type Verification: Ensure that the stock types involved in the removal order are eligible for removal. If there are restrictions, consider adjusting the stock type or using a different stock.
  Configuration Review: Consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings related to removal orders and prorating. Adjustments may be needed in the configuration to allow prorating if it aligns with business processes.
  Manual Adjustment: If prorating is not possible, consider manually adjusting the removal order to reflect the available stock without prorating.
