• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/CON248 - Storage section ID &1 was redefined in the Business Add-In ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/CON248 indicates that a storage section ID has been redefined in a Business Add-In (BAdI). This typically occurs in the context of Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when there are custom implementations or enhancements that affect the standard behavior of storage sections.
  Cause:
  
  BAdI Implementation: The error arises when a BAdI implementation modifies the definition or behavior of a storage section that is already defined in the system. This can happen if the BAdI is designed to change how storage sections are determined or utilized.
  Configuration Changes: Changes in the configuration of storage sections in the EWM system may conflict with existing BAdI implementations.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data related to storage sections, such as missing or incorrectly defined entries.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review BAdI Implementations: Check the BAdI implementations that are active in your system. You can do this by navigating to the BAdI definition in transaction SE18 or SE19. Look for any custom logic that may be redefining the storage section ID.
  Adjust Configuration: If the BAdI is not necessary or if it conflicts with the standard configuration, consider adjusting or deactivating the BAdI implementation. Ensure that the storage section configuration aligns with the BAdI logic.
  Check for Updates: If you are using a standard BAdI implementation, ensure that your system is up to date with the latest support packages or notes from SAP, as there may be fixes or enhancements related to this issue.
  Data Consistency Check: Perform a consistency check on the storage section data. Ensure that all necessary entries are correctly defined and that there are no duplicates or conflicts.
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation related to the specific BAdI and storage section configuration to understand the expected behavior and any prerequisites.
