• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/WBN027 - Enter number length less than or equal to &1 for stock type &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/WBN027 indicates that there is an issue with the number length specified for a stock type in the Transportation Management System (TMS). The message typically states that the number length entered exceeds the allowed limit for a specific stock type.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by entering a number (such as a quantity or identifier) that exceeds the maximum length defined for that particular stock type in the system. Each stock type in SAP has specific constraints regarding the length of numbers that can be entered, and if the input exceeds this limit, the system will trigger this error message.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Check the Input Value: Review the number you are trying to enter for the stock type. Ensure that it is within the allowed length specified by the system.
  
  
  Refer to Documentation: Consult the SAP documentation or configuration settings for the specific stock type you are working with. This will provide you with the maximum length allowed for that stock type.
  
  
  Adjust the Input: If the number you are trying to enter exceeds the allowed length, modify it to fit within the specified limit. This may involve rounding down quantities or using a different identifier that meets the length requirement.
  
  
  Configuration Review: If you believe the length restriction is too limiting for your business needs, you may need to review the configuration settings in the SAP system. This may require assistance from an SAP Basis or configuration expert to adjust the settings appropriately.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary adjustments, test the input again to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
  
  
  Related Information:
