• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY196 - Route determination did not take place (no relevant items) ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY196 indicates that route determination did not occur because there were no relevant items found for the delivery. This typically happens in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when trying to create or process a delivery document, and the system is unable to determine a route due to the absence of items that meet the criteria for route determination.
  Causes:
  
  No Items in Delivery: The delivery document may not contain any items, or the items may not meet the criteria for route determination.
  Missing Master Data: Required master data such as transportation lanes, shipping points, or routes may be missing or incorrectly configured.
  Incorrect Configuration: The route determination configuration may not be set up correctly in the system, leading to no routes being found.
  Item Status: The items in the delivery may be in a status that prevents route determination (e.g., blocked or not relevant for shipping).
  Delivery Type: The delivery type may not be configured to allow for route determination.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Delivery Items: Ensure that the delivery document contains relevant items. If there are no items, add them to the delivery.
  Review Master Data: Verify that all necessary master data (e.g., transportation lanes, shipping points, routes) is correctly maintained in the system.
  Configuration Check: Review the route determination configuration in the system. Ensure that the necessary settings are in place for the delivery type and that the conditions for route determination are met.
  Item Status Review: Check the status of the items in the delivery. Ensure they are not blocked or in a status that prevents shipping.
  Delivery Type Settings: Confirm that the delivery type is configured to allow for route determination. You may need to consult with your SAP configuration team to ensure that the settings are correct.
