• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY116 - Stock type &1 and previous document type incompatible ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY116 indicates that there is an incompatibility between the stock type and the previous document type in the context of warehouse management and delivery processing. This error typically arises in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when trying to process a delivery or stock transfer that involves different stock types or document types that are not compatible with each other.
  Cause:
  
  
  Incompatible Stock Types: The stock type of the item you are trying to process does not match the expected stock type for the previous document. For example, you might be trying to process a delivery that involves stock in a blocked stock type when the previous document was for unrestricted stock.
  
  
  Document Type Mismatch: The document type of the previous transaction (e.g., a transfer order or delivery) may not be compatible with the stock type you are trying to use. This can happen if the previous document was created with a different stock type or if there are specific settings in the system that restrict certain combinations.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that define which stock types can be used with which document types. If these settings are not aligned, it can lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Stock Type: Verify the stock type of the item you are trying to process. Ensure that it is compatible with the stock type expected by the previous document. You can do this by checking the stock overview in the EWM or using transaction codes like /SCWM/PRDI to view stock details.
  
  
  Review Previous Document: Look at the previous document (e.g., delivery, transfer order) to understand its stock type and document type. Ensure that the current operation you are trying to perform is valid for that document.
  
  
  Adjust Configuration: If the stock type and document type mismatch is due to configuration settings, you may need to adjust the settings in the EWM configuration. This may involve working with your SAP Basis or EWM configuration team to ensure that the stock types and document types are correctly defined and compatible.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help notes related to the specific error message for additional insights and troubleshooting steps.
  
  
  Testing: After making any changes, perform tests to ensure that the issue is resolved and that the delivery or stock transfer can be processed without errors.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in EWM, such as /SCWM/PRDI for stock overview, /SCWM/TO for transfer orders, and /SCWM/DELIVERY for deliveries.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. SAP Notes can provide specific guidance or updates that may resolve the issue.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that the user performing the operation has the necessary authorizations to access and modify the stock types and document types involved.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
