  The SAP error message /SCWM/BATCH078 indicates that a batch is controlled at both the warehouse and entitlement level, and the system requires you to specify a warehouse when trying to process the batch. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when dealing with batch management.
  Cause:
  
  Batch Management Configuration: The batch is configured to be managed at the warehouse level, which means that the system expects a specific warehouse to be associated with the batch.
