• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY157 - Item &1 split (HU that is not to be split off exists) ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY157 indicates that there is an issue with handling a delivery item in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. Specifically, the error message states that the item cannot be split because there is a Handling Unit (HU) associated with it that is not allowed to be split off.
  Cause:
  The error typically occurs in the following scenarios:
  
  Handling Unit (HU) Configuration: The configuration of the Handling Unit may not allow for splitting. This can happen if the HU is set up in a way that it must remain intact for certain processes.
  Delivery Item Status: The status of the delivery item may not permit splitting. For example, if the item is already partially processed or if there are restrictions based on the item type.
  Stock Type: The stock type of the item may not allow for splitting. For instance, if the item is in a quality inspection stock or blocked stock, it may not be eligible for splitting.
  Warehouse Process: The current warehouse process may not support splitting of the item due to specific business rules or configurations.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Handling Unit Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration settings for the Handling Unit in the system. Ensure that the HU is set up to allow splitting if that is required for your process.
  
  
  
  Review Delivery Item Status:
  
  Check the status of the delivery item. If it is in a state that does not allow splitting, you may need to change its status or complete any pending processes before attempting to split.
  
  
  
  Inspect Stock Type:
  
  Verify the stock type of the item. If it is in a restricted stock type, consider moving it to unrestricted stock if applicable.
  
  
  
  Consult Warehouse Process:
  
  Review the warehouse process configuration to ensure that splitting is allowed for the specific item type and handling unit in use.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
  
  Use relevant transaction codes (like /SCWM/PRDI for processing deliveries) to check the details of the delivery and handling units involved.
  
  
  
  Check for Open Tasks:
  
  Ensure there are no open tasks or processes that are preventing the split. Complete or cancel any open tasks if necessary.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines related to handling units and delivery processing in EWM.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
  EWM Configuration: Familiarize yourself with the EWM configuration settings related to handling units and delivery processing.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the actions related to handling units and deliveries.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a consultant who specializes in EWM for further assistance.
