• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCDL/BO_ACTION105 - Wave &1 exists for delivery &2; archiving not possible ?

  The SAP error message /SCDL/BO_ACTION105 indicates that a wave (a grouping of deliveries for processing) already exists for a specific delivery, which prevents the archiving of that delivery. This error typically arises in the context of the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) or the SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) module, where deliveries are managed in waves for efficient processing.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:
  
  A wave has been created for the delivery in question, and the system does not allow archiving of deliveries that are still part of an active wave.
  The delivery is still in use or has not been fully processed, which means it cannot be archived until it is no longer associated with any active wave.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Active Waves: 
  
  Use transaction codes like /SCWM/WAVE or /SCWM/PRD to check if there are any active waves associated with the delivery.
  Identify the wave that includes the delivery and determine its status.
  
  
  
  Complete or Cancel the Wave:
  
  If the wave is still in process, you may need to complete the wave processing. This could involve picking, packing, or shipping the items in the wave.
  If the wave is no longer needed, you can cancel it, which will disassociate the delivery from the wave.
  
  
  
  Re-attempt Archiving:
  
  Once the delivery is no longer associated with any active wave, you can attempt to archive the delivery again.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to wave management and archiving processes for any specific guidelines or additional steps that may be required.
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Logic:
  
  If your organization has custom logic or enhancements in place, ensure that these are not interfering with the archiving process.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes for managing waves and deliveries in SAP EWM/SCM.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  User Roles and Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to manage waves and deliveries, as this can affect your ability to resolve the issue.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or reach out to SAP support for further assistance.
