• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/CON064 - Slotting of more than &1 products only allowed in background processing ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/CON064 indicates that the system is trying to perform slotting for more than a specified number of products in a single operation, which is not allowed in foreground processing. This limitation is in place to ensure system performance and stability, as processing a large number of products in the foreground can lead to timeouts or performance degradation.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  You attempt to slot more than the allowed number of products (typically more than 100) in a single transaction in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system.
  The system is configured to restrict the number of products that can be processed in the foreground to prevent performance issues.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Batch Processing: Instead of trying to slot all products at once, break down the slotting operation into smaller batches. Process fewer products in each transaction until you are within the allowed limit.
  
  
  Background Processing: If you need to slot a large number of products, consider using background processing. This can be done by:
  
  Using the appropriate transaction code or program that allows for background processing of slotting.
  Scheduling a background job in SAP to handle the slotting process. You can use transaction codes like SM36 to create a background job.
  
  
  
  Configuration Check: Review the configuration settings in your SAP EWM system to see if the limit for foreground processing can be adjusted. However, this is generally not recommended due to potential performance impacts.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal or your organization's SAP documentation for specific guidelines on slotting and background processing.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SCWM/SLT for slotting and SM37 for monitoring background jobs.
  Performance Considerations: Understand the implications of processing large volumes of data in SAP and the importance of maintaining system performance.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional insights or updates related to this error message.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully perform slotting in your SAP EWM system.
