  The SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY240 typically occurs in the context of the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when there is an attempt to adjust the quantity of a delivery or a stock transfer, but the adjustment cannot be completed due to the confirmed quantity already being set.
  Cause:
  The error message indicates that there is a discrepancy between the quantity you are trying to adjust and the quantity that has already been confirmed in the system. Specifically, the message states that an adjustment from quantity &1 to &2 is not possible because the confirmed quantity is &3. This usually happens in scenarios such as:
  
  Quantity Mismatch: The quantity you are trying to set (either increasing or decreasing) does not match the confirmed quantity in the system.
  Locked or In-Process Deliveries: The delivery might be locked or in a process that does not allow for changes.
  Stock Availability: There may not be enough stock available to fulfill the requested adjustment.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Confirmed Quantities: Review the confirmed quantities in the system for the delivery in question. Ensure that the quantities you are trying to adjust are valid and within the limits of what is confirmed.
  
  
  Review Delivery Status: Check the status of the delivery. If it is in a status that does not allow for changes, you may need to change the status or complete any pending processes.
  
  
  Adjust Quantities: If the confirmed quantity is indeed correct, you may need to adjust your request to match the confirmed quantity or to a permissible quantity based on the current stock levels.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review any relevant documentation or guidelines for handling deliveries in your specific SAP EWM setup, as there may be specific business rules in place.
