• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY209 - Manual outbound delivery order creation: blocked stk returns not allowed ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY209 indicates that the system is preventing the creation of a manual outbound delivery order because there are blocked stock returns that are not allowed. This typically occurs in the context of warehouse management and logistics processes within SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM).
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Blocked Stock: There are items in the warehouse that are marked as blocked stock. This means that these items cannot be used for outbound deliveries until they are released from the blocked status.
  
  
  Stock Returns: The system is configured to prevent the creation of outbound deliveries when there are stock returns that are still in a blocked state. This is often a part of the business process to ensure that only available stock is used for deliveries.
  
  
  Configuration Settings: The settings in the warehouse management configuration may restrict the use of blocked stock for outbound deliveries.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Blocked Stock:
  
  Go to the warehouse management monitor or transaction codes like LX03 to check for blocked stock in the relevant storage location.
  Identify the items that are in blocked stock and determine why they are blocked.
  
  
  
  Release Blocked Stock:
  
  If the blocked stock is no longer needed to be blocked, you can release it. This can be done through the transaction code MB1A (Goods Withdrawal) or MB1B (Transfer Posting) depending on your specific needs.
  Ensure that the stock is moved to a status that allows it to be used for outbound deliveries.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings in the EWM system to see if there are any specific rules that prevent the use of blocked stock for outbound deliveries.
  Consult with your SAP EWM configuration team to adjust settings if necessary.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to this error message for any additional insights or specific configurations that may be relevant to your system.
  
  
  
  User Authorization:
  
  Ensure that the user attempting to create the outbound delivery has the necessary authorizations to manage stock and deliveries.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  Warehouse Management Processes: Understanding the overall warehouse management processes and how blocked stock is handled can provide context for resolving this issue.
