• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY204 - Batch subitem not created in EWM; split not allowed ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY204: Batch subitem not created in EWM; split not allowed typically occurs in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when there is an attempt to create a delivery or process a batch that cannot be split due to certain conditions. Here’s a breakdown of the potential causes, solutions, and related information for this error:
  Causes:
  
  Batch Management Settings: The batch management settings for the material may not allow splitting. This can happen if the batch is defined as non-splittable in the system.
  Delivery Item Configuration: The delivery item may have been configured in such a way that it does not allow for splitting. This could be due to settings in the material master or the delivery item category.
  Stock Type Restrictions: The stock type associated with the batch may not permit splitting. For example, if the stock is in a quality inspection or blocked stock, it may not be allowed to split.
  Batch Characteristics: If the batch has specific characteristics that are not compatible with splitting, this error can occur.
  EWM Configuration: There may be specific EWM configuration settings that restrict the splitting of batches.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Batch Management Settings: Review the batch management settings for the material in the material master. Ensure that the batch is set to allow splitting if that is required for your process.
  Review Delivery Item Configuration: Check the delivery item category and ensure that it is configured to allow splitting. You may need to adjust the settings in the delivery item category configuration.
  Inspect Stock Type: Verify the stock type of the batch. If it is in a restricted stock type, consider moving it to unrestricted stock if splitting is necessary.
  Batch Characteristics Review: Ensure that the batch characteristics do not impose restrictions on splitting. If they do, you may need to create a new batch that allows for splitting.
  EWM Settings: Review the EWM configuration settings related to batch handling and splitting. Adjust any settings that may be preventing the split.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to batch management and EWM for any specific configurations or known issues.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like MM03 (Material Master), VL03N (Display Outbound Delivery), and /SCWM/PRDI (Display Production Order) to investigate the material and delivery details.
  EWM Configuration: Review the EWM configuration settings in SPRO under Logistics Execution > Extended Warehouse Management > Basic Settings > Batch Management.
  Batch Split Functionality: Familiarize yourself with the batch split functionality in EWM and how it interacts with delivery processing.
