• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY223 - Outbound delivery already created for some items ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY223 indicates that an outbound delivery has already been created for some items in the system. This typically occurs in the context of the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when trying to create a new outbound delivery for items that are already associated with an existing outbound delivery.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Outbound Delivery: The primary cause of this error is that the items you are trying to include in a new outbound delivery are already part of an existing outbound delivery.
  Incorrect Document Flow: There may be a misunderstanding in the document flow, where the system expects a different handling of the items.
  Data Entry Errors: Sometimes, manual data entry errors can lead to attempts to create duplicate deliveries.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Deliveries: 
  
  Use transaction codes like /SCWM/PRDI (for picking) or /SCWM/OD (for outbound delivery) to check if there is already an outbound delivery created for the items in question.
  Review the existing outbound deliveries to see if the items are already included.
  
  
  
  Use Existing Delivery: 
  
  If an outbound delivery already exists for the items, you should use that delivery instead of trying to create a new one. You can add more items to the existing delivery if needed.
  
  
  
  Modify Existing Delivery: 
  
  If you need to change the items in the existing delivery, you can modify it as necessary, provided that the delivery is still in a state that allows changes.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Review the SAP documentation or help files related to outbound deliveries in EWM for more detailed guidance on handling deliveries.
