  The SAP error message /SCWM/CARTONIZATION039 indicates that the use of packaging specifications has been switched off for a specific algorithm profile in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system. This error typically arises during the cartonization process, which is the process of determining how items are packed into cartons or containers.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the configuration settings in the algorithm profile used for cartonization. Specifically, it means that the packaging specification feature is disabled for the selected algorithm profile. This can happen if:
  
  The algorithm profile is not set up to utilize packaging specifications.
  The settings were intentionally changed to disable this feature.
  There is a mismatch between the packaging specifications and the items being processed.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Algorithm Profile Settings:
