• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/BWEX005 - Current request ID &1 is different from saved ID &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/BWEX005 Current request ID &1 is different from saved ID &2 typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when there is a mismatch between the current request ID and a previously saved request ID. This can happen during data extraction processes, especially when working with the SAP Business Warehouse (BW) or during the transfer of data between systems.
  Cause:
  
  
  Mismatched Request IDs: The error indicates that the system is trying to process a request with a different ID than what was previously saved. This can occur if:
  
  The data extraction process was interrupted or not completed properly.
  There was a manual change or error in the request handling.
  The system is trying to access a request that has been deleted or is no longer valid.
  
  
  
  Concurrency Issues: If multiple processes are trying to access or modify the same data simultaneously, it can lead to inconsistencies in request IDs.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration in the data extraction settings or in the BW system can also lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Request IDs: Verify the current request ID and the saved request ID. Ensure that they match and that you are working with the correct data.
  
  
  Reprocess the Request: If the request was interrupted, try to reprocess it. This may involve restarting the data extraction or re-running the relevant transaction.
  
  
  Clear Buffer/Cache: Sometimes, clearing the buffer or cache in the EWM or BW system can resolve inconsistencies. This can be done through transaction codes like SM12 (to check for locks) or SM21 (to check system logs).
  
  
  Check for Concurrent Processes: Ensure that no other processes are trying to access the same data at the same time. If necessary, coordinate with other users or processes to avoid conflicts.
  
  
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings in both EWM and BW to ensure they are set up correctly for data extraction and that there are no discrepancies.
  
  
  Consult Logs: Review system logs for any additional error messages or warnings that could provide more context about the issue.
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes or updates that might address this specific error.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SCWM/EXTRACT for data extraction and RSA1 for BW administration.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for Extended Warehouse Management and Business Warehouse for best practices and troubleshooting steps.
  Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal IT team for further assistance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
