• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY170 - HU split for item &1 only partially cancelled due to residual quantity ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY170 indicates that a Handling Unit (HU) split for a specific item has only been partially canceled due to a residual quantity. This typically occurs in the context of warehouse management and logistics execution processes within SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM).
  Cause:
  
  
  Residual Quantity: The error usually arises when there is a remaining quantity of the item that cannot be fully canceled. This can happen if:
  
  The quantity being canceled exceeds the quantity that is still available in the Handling Unit.
  There are open stock or inventory movements associated with the item.
  The item is linked to other processes (e.g., deliveries, transfers) that prevent full cancellation.
  
  
  
  System Configuration: There may be specific settings in the system that dictate how cancellations are handled, which could lead to partial cancellations.
  
  
  User Actions: The user may have attempted to cancel a quantity that is not fully available or has already been processed in some way.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Residual Quantity: Review the handling unit and the associated item to determine the residual quantity that is preventing full cancellation. You can do this by:
  
  Navigating to the handling unit in the system and checking the stock overview.
  Verifying the quantities in the delivery or transfer order.
  
  
  
  Adjust Cancellation Request: If the residual quantity is less than what you intended to cancel, adjust your cancellation request to match the available quantity.
  
  
  Clear Open Processes: Ensure that there are no open processes (like deliveries or stock transfers) that are linked to the handling unit. If there are, you may need to complete or cancel those processes first.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If the issue persists, review the configuration settings related to handling units and cancellations in your SAP EWM system. Consult with your SAP Basis or EWM consultant if necessary.
