• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY221 - CW quantity is larger than total distributable CW qty or is equal to 0 ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY221 indicates that there is an issue with the delivery quantity in the context of the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. Specifically, it means that the cumulative quantity (CW quantity) you are trying to process is either larger than the total distributable cumulative quantity or is equal to zero. This can occur during various processes, such as creating or processing deliveries, handling stock transfers, or during picking operations.
  Causes:
  
  Incorrect Quantity Input: The quantity you are trying to process may have been entered incorrectly, exceeding the available stock.
  Stock Availability: The total distributable quantity may not be sufficient to fulfill the requested quantity due to stock being reserved for other processes or deliveries.
  Zero Quantity: The system may be trying to process a delivery with a quantity of zero, which is not valid.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the EWM that are not aligned with the actual stock levels or business processes.
  Stock Status: The stock might be in a status that does not allow it to be distributed (e.g., blocked stock).
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Quantity: Verify the quantity you are trying to process. Ensure that it is less than or equal to the total distributable quantity available in the system.
  Review Stock Levels: Check the stock levels in the warehouse to ensure that there is enough stock available to fulfill the delivery. You can do this by checking the stock overview in EWM.
  Adjust Delivery Quantity: If the quantity is greater than the available stock, adjust the delivery quantity to match the available stock.
  Check for Reservations: Look for any reservations or allocations that may be affecting the available stock. If stock is reserved for other deliveries, you may need to adjust those reservations.
  Inspect Configuration: Review the EWM configuration settings to ensure they are set up correctly for your business processes.
  Check for Zero Quantity: Ensure that you are not trying to process a delivery with a quantity of zero. If this is the case, correct the quantity before proceeding.
