• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/CARTONIZATION018 - No CAP algorithm profile found for parameters &1 ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/CARTONIZATION018 No CAP algorithm profile found for parameters &1 typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when the system is unable to find a suitable Cartonization Algorithm Profile (CAP) for the specified parameters. This can happen during the cartonization process, where the system attempts to determine how to pack items into cartons based on predefined rules and profiles.
  Cause:
  
  Missing CAP Profile: The most common cause is that there is no CAP algorithm profile defined for the specific parameters being used in the cartonization process.
  Incorrect Parameters: The parameters being passed to the cartonization process may not match any existing CAP profiles.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the cartonization settings in the system.
  Data Inconsistencies: There could be inconsistencies or missing data in the master data related to packaging or items.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Define a CAP Profile:
  
  Go to the SAP EWM configuration and check if a CAP algorithm profile exists for the parameters in question.
  If it does not exist, create a new CAP profile that matches the required parameters.
  
  
  
  Check Parameters:
  
  Review the parameters being used in the cartonization process. Ensure they are correct and correspond to the profiles defined in the system.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Navigate to the EWM configuration settings and verify that the cartonization settings are correctly configured.
  Ensure that the relevant packaging materials and item master data are properly maintained.
  
  
  
  Test with Different Parameters:
  
  If possible, test the cartonization process with different parameters to see if the issue persists. This can help identify if the problem is specific to certain parameters.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on setting up and troubleshooting cartonization profiles.
  
  
  
  Check for Notes and Updates:
  
  Look for any SAP Notes or updates that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like /SCWM/CP (for cartonization profiles) or /SCWM/PR (for packaging specifications) to manage and review profiles.
  SAP Community: Engaging with the SAP Community or forums can provide insights from other users who may have encountered similar issues.
  SAP Support: If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, consider reaching out to SAP Support for further assistance.
