• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PK533 - Storage location &1 is EWM-managed ?

  The SAP error message PK533 indicates that the storage location specified is managed by Extended Warehouse Management (EWM). This means that the system is expecting that inventory and stock movements for this storage location are handled through EWM rather than the traditional Inventory Management (IM) processes.

  The error typically occurs when you attempt to perform an inventory-related transaction (such as goods movement, stock transfer, or physical inventory) in a storage location that is configured to be managed by EWM.
