• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY262 - Delivery group cannot be deleted since it was not created in EWM ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY262 indicates that a delivery group cannot be deleted because it was not created in Extended Warehouse Management (EWM). This typically occurs when there is an attempt to delete a delivery group that is either not recognized by the EWM system or was created in a different system (like SAP ERP or another logistics system).
  Cause:
  
  Delivery Group Origin: The delivery group was created outside of EWM, possibly in SAP ERP or another logistics system, and thus EWM does not have the necessary records to delete it.
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data between the systems, leading EWM to not recognize the delivery group.
  Incorrect Configuration: The system may not be properly configured to handle delivery groups, or there may be issues with the integration between EWM and the source system.
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify Delivery Group Creation: Check the origin of the delivery group. If it was created in another system, you will need to manage it from that system instead of EWM.
  Check Integration Settings: Ensure that the integration settings between EWM and the source system are correctly configured. This includes verifying that the necessary data is being transferred correctly.
  Use Correct Transaction: If you need to delete a delivery group, ensure you are using the correct transaction in the appropriate system where the delivery group was created.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to delivery groups and EWM to ensure that you are following the correct procedures.
  Contact Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance, especially if you suspect a system error or bug.
  
  Related Information:
  
  EWM Configuration: Familiarize yourself with the configuration settings in EWM related to delivery processing and integration with other systems.
  Transaction Codes: Be aware of the relevant transaction codes in both EWM and the source system for managing deliveries.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes that may address known issues or provide additional guidance on handling delivery groups in EWM.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the error message and manage your delivery groups effectively.
