• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/CCHECK652 - Only CSV file format can be uploaded ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/CCHECK652: Only CSV file format can be uploaded typically occurs when you are trying to upload a file in a format other than CSV (Comma-Separated Values) into the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system. This error indicates that the system is configured to accept only CSV files for the specific upload operation you are attempting.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect File Format: The file you are trying to upload is not in CSV format. It may be in formats like Excel (.xls, .xlsx), text (.txt), or any other unsupported format.
  File Extension: The file may have a .csv extension but is not actually formatted as a CSV file.
  Data Structure: The content of the file may not adhere to the expected structure of a CSV file, such as incorrect delimiters or missing headers.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Convert the File to CSV:
  
  If your file is in a different format (like Excel), open it in the appropriate application (e.g., Microsoft Excel) and save it as a CSV file. Ensure that you select the correct CSV format (e.g., CSV UTF-8).
  
  
  
  Check File Content:
  
  Open the CSV file in a text editor (like Notepad) to verify that it is properly formatted. Each line should represent a record, and fields should be separated by commas.
  Ensure that there are no extra commas or incorrect delimiters.
  
  
  
  Verify File Encoding:
  
  Ensure that the file is saved with the correct encoding (UTF-8 is often recommended) to avoid issues with special characters.
  
  
  
  Use the Correct Upload Functionality:
  
  Make sure you are using the correct transaction or program in SAP that is designed to handle CSV uploads.
  
  
  
  Check SAP Documentation:
