• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY153 - Main item still has open unpacked quantity (split not possible) ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY153 indicates that there is an issue with the delivery process in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. Specifically, it means that the main item in a delivery has an open unpacked quantity, which prevents the system from splitting the delivery.
  Cause:
  
  Open Unpacked Quantity: The main item in the delivery has quantities that have not yet been unpacked. This means that there are still items that are not fully processed or accounted for in the system.
  Delivery Split Restrictions: The system is designed to prevent splitting deliveries when there are still open quantities that need to be handled. This is to ensure that inventory and delivery processes remain accurate and consistent.
  Incomplete Handling Unit (HU): If the handling unit associated with the delivery is not fully processed or is still in a state that requires attention, it can lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Unpacked Quantities: Review the delivery and check the quantities that are still unpacked. You can do this by navigating to the delivery document in EWM and checking the item details.
  Complete Unpacking: If there are items that need to be unpacked, complete the unpacking process. This may involve physically unpacking items and updating the system to reflect that the quantities are now accounted for.
  Review Handling Units: Ensure that all handling units related to the delivery are fully processed. If there are any incomplete handling units, address those issues first.
  Adjust Delivery: If necessary, adjust the delivery to ensure that all items are accounted for and that there are no open quantities. This may involve consolidating items or reassigning them to different deliveries.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for handling deliveries in EWM, as there may be specific procedures to follow.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like /SCWM/PRDI (for processing deliveries) or /SCWM/PRDI (for managing handling units) to navigate and resolve issues.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  User Roles and Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to make changes to deliveries and handling units in the EWM system.
  Training and Support: If you are unsure about the steps to take, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with a colleague who has experience with EWM processes.
