• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY118 - Route found &1 has a higher ranking than current route &2 in the delivery ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY118 indicates that there is a routing issue in the delivery process within the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system. Specifically, it means that the system has found a route that has a higher ranking than the current route assigned to the delivery. This can occur during the delivery creation or processing when the system evaluates the available routes based on predefined criteria.
  Cause:
  
  Route Configuration: The routes in the system are configured with different rankings. The system is designed to select the best route based on certain criteria, such as distance, cost, or time. If a route with a higher ranking is available, the system will flag the current route as suboptimal.
  Master Data Issues: There may be inconsistencies or missing data in the master data related to routes, such as transportation lanes, shipping points, or other relevant settings.
  Delivery Settings: The delivery settings may not be aligned with the routing rules, leading to the selection of a less optimal route.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Route Configuration: Check the configuration of the routes in the system. Ensure that the routes are set up correctly with appropriate rankings. You can do this in the SAP EWM customizing settings.
  Adjust Delivery Settings: Review the delivery settings and ensure that they are configured to allow for the selection of the optimal route. This may involve adjusting parameters related to route determination.
  Check Master Data: Verify that all relevant master data (e.g., transportation lanes, shipping points, etc.) is complete and accurate. Make any necessary updates to ensure that the system can evaluate routes correctly.
  Manual Route Selection: If necessary, you can manually select the desired route in the delivery document if the automatic determination is not yielding the desired results.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed guidance on route determination and configuration.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes such as /SCWM/PRD (for product data), /SCWM/ROUTE (for route configuration), or /SCWM/DELIVERY (for delivery processing) to access relevant settings.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to routing issues in EWM, as there may be known issues or patches that can resolve specific problems.
  Testing: After making changes, perform testing to ensure that the routing works as expected and that the error message no longer appears.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
