• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/BATCH079 - Batch controled on warehouse and entitled level; enter entitled party ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/BATCH079 indicates that a batch is controlled at both the warehouse and entitled party level, and the system requires you to specify the entitled party when processing the batch. This error typically occurs in the context of warehouse management and batch management in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM).
  Cause:
  
  Batch Management Settings: The batch is configured to require an entitled party, which means that the batch is associated with a specific party (e.g., a customer or vendor) that has rights to the batch.
  Warehouse Management Configuration: The warehouse settings may enforce batch control at the entitled party level, necessitating the entry of the entitled party when performing operations involving the batch.
  Missing Entitled Party Information: The transaction or process you are trying to execute does not have the entitled party specified, which is mandatory due to the batch control settings.
  
  Solution:
  
  Enter the Entitled Party: When prompted with the error, you need to enter the entitled party for the batch. This can usually be done in the relevant transaction screen where you are processing the batch.
  Check Batch Master Data: Review the batch master data to ensure that the entitled party is correctly assigned. You can do this by navigating to the batch management section in SAP and checking the details of the specific batch.
  Adjust Warehouse Settings: If the entitled party is not required for your business process, you may consider adjusting the warehouse management settings to not enforce entitled party control for certain batches. This would typically require configuration changes in the SAP system.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed instructions on how to manage batches and entitled parties in your specific version of SAP EWM.
