• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY156 - Item &1 split due to unpacked quantity ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY156 Item &1 split due to unpacked quantity typically occurs in the context of the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when there is an issue with the handling of delivery items that have unpacked quantities. This error indicates that the system has split the delivery item because the quantity to be delivered cannot be packed into the available handling units (HUs) due to the unpacked quantity.
  Cause:
  
  Unpacked Quantity: The item in question has a quantity that is not packed into handling units. This can happen if the delivery item is partially packed or if there are discrepancies between the ordered quantity and the packed quantity.
  Handling Unit Management: The system may not find suitable handling units that can accommodate the unpacked quantity, leading to a split in the delivery item.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the EWM system that affect how items are packed and delivered.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Packing Status: Review the packing status of the delivery item. Ensure that the item is fully packed into handling units. If there are unpacked quantities, consider packing them into handling units before processing the delivery.
  Adjust Delivery Quantity: If the delivery quantity is greater than what can be packed, adjust the delivery quantity to match the available packed quantity.
  Review Handling Units: Ensure that there are appropriate handling units available that can accommodate the unpacked quantity. If necessary, create or modify handling units to fit the requirements.
  Repack Items: If possible, repack the items into handling units that can accommodate the entire quantity. This may involve using the packing functionality in EWM to create new handling units.
  Check Configuration: Review the EWM configuration settings related to packing and delivery processing. Ensure that the settings align with your business processes and requirements.
