• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/CARTONIZATION023 - &1 CAP algorithm profiles exist with &2 packaging material assignment ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/CARTONIZATION023 typically indicates an issue related to the cartonization process in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system. This error occurs when there are multiple CAP (Cartonization Algorithm Profile) profiles assigned to a specific packaging material, which can lead to ambiguity in the cartonization process.
  Cause:
  The error message /SCWM/CARTONIZATION023 is triggered when:
  
  There are multiple CAP algorithm profiles defined for the same packaging material.
  The system is unable to determine which CAP profile to use for cartonization due to the existence of multiple profiles.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check CAP Profiles:
  
  Go to the SAP EWM configuration and check the defined CAP algorithm profiles.
  Identify the packaging material that is causing the issue and review the assigned CAP profiles.
  
  
  
  Consolidate Profiles:
  
  If multiple CAP profiles are not necessary, consider consolidating them. You may need to remove or deactivate the redundant profiles for the specific packaging material.
  
  
  
  Assign a Single Profile:
  
  Ensure that each packaging material has only one CAP algorithm profile assigned. This can be done by modifying the configuration settings in the EWM system.
  
  
  
  Review Packaging Material Settings:
  
  Check the settings for the packaging material in the system to ensure that it is correctly configured and that there are no conflicting settings.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform tests to ensure that the cartonization process works correctly without triggering the error.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like /SCWM/PRC (for managing packaging) or /SCWM/CAP (for managing cartonization algorithm profiles) to access the relevant settings.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on cartonization and CAP profiles.
  Support: If the issue persists after following the above steps, consider reaching out to SAP support or consulting with an SAP EWM expert for further assistance.
  
  By addressing the configuration of CAP profiles and ensuring that each packaging material has a unique assignment, you should be able to resolve the error message and proceed with the cartonization process in SAP EWM.
