• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/CCHECK651 - CSV file upload is not allowed in background mode ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/CCHECK651 indicates that a CSV file upload is not allowed in background mode. This error typically occurs when you attempt to upload a CSV file for data processing in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system while the system is running in background processing mode.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that certain operations, such as file uploads, require user interaction and cannot be executed in the background. The system is designed to prevent such operations from being run in a non-interactive mode to avoid issues related to user input and data integrity.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Switch to Dialog Mode: Ensure that you are running the CSV file upload in dialog mode rather than background mode. This typically involves executing the transaction directly in the SAP GUI rather than scheduling it as a background job.
  
  
  Check Job Scheduling: If you are trying to schedule a job that includes the CSV upload, modify the job to exclude the upload step or ensure that it is executed in dialog mode.
  
  
  Use Alternative Methods: If you need to process large amounts of data, consider using other methods such as:
  
  Batch Input Sessions: Create a batch input session that can be processed in the foreground.
  Direct Input Methods: Use direct input methods or BAPIs that are designed for data uploads and can handle background processing.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation for the specific transaction or program you are using to understand its requirements and limitations regarding background processing.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists or if you believe there is a specific configuration or customization causing the problem, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP EWM that pertain to data uploads and processing.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to the error message or the specific functionality you are using, as there may be patches or updates that address known issues.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the upload operation, as insufficient permissions can also lead to errors.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully upload your CSV file in SAP EWM.
