• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY004 - Handling unit &1 &2 does not contain a delivery item ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY004 Handling unit &1 &2 does not contain a delivery item typically occurs in the context of the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when there is an issue with handling units (HUs) and their association with delivery items. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Association: The handling unit (HU) specified in the error message does not have any delivery items associated with it. This can happen if the HU was created without being linked to a delivery or if the delivery items were not properly assigned to the HU.
  
  
  Incorrect HU Status: The status of the handling unit may not allow it to be processed in the context of the delivery. For example, if the HU is marked as "blocked" or "in use" in another process.
  
  
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the database or issues with the data transfer between systems (e.g., between EWM and SAP ERP).
  
  
  Incorrect Delivery Processing: The delivery process may not have been completed correctly, leading to the HU not being updated with the relevant delivery items.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check HU Assignment: Verify that the handling unit is correctly assigned to the delivery. You can do this by checking the HU details in the system and ensuring that it is linked to the appropriate delivery items.
  
  
  Reassign Delivery Items: If the HU is not linked to any delivery items, you may need to reassign the relevant delivery items to the HU. This can typically be done through the EWM interface.
  
  
  Review HU Status: Check the status of the handling unit to ensure it is not blocked or in a state that prevents it from being processed. If it is blocked, you may need to resolve the issue causing the block.
  
  
  Check for Data Consistency: If you suspect data inconsistencies, you may need to run consistency checks or consult with your SAP Basis team to ensure that the database is in a consistent state.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to handling units and delivery processing in EWM for any specific instructions or known issues.
  
  
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the process to identify where the breakdown is occurring. This may require technical expertise.
  
  
  Related Information:

  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to handling units and delivery processing in EWM.
