• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY334 - Parallel processing not used due to resources/configuration ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY334 Parallel processing not used due to resources/configuration typically occurs in the context of the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when the system is unable to utilize parallel processing for delivery-related tasks. This can be due to various reasons related to system configuration or resource limitations.
  Causes:
  
  
  Configuration Settings: The system may not be configured to allow parallel processing for the specific task or transaction. This could be due to settings in the EWM configuration or in the background processing settings.
  
  
  Resource Limitations: The system may not have enough resources (e.g., memory, CPU) available to handle parallel processing. This can happen if the system is under heavy load or if there are restrictions on the number of parallel processes that can be executed.
  
  
  Locking Issues: If there are locks on certain resources or data that prevent parallel execution, the system will revert to sequential processing.
  
  
  Batch Size: The batch size for processing deliveries may be set too low, which can limit the ability to process multiple deliveries in parallel.
  
  
  User Authorizations: Insufficient authorizations for the user executing the process can also lead to this error.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Configuration: Review the EWM configuration settings related to parallel processing. Ensure that the relevant parameters are set to allow for parallel execution.
  
  
  Monitor System Resources: Use transaction codes like ST02 (Buffer Monitor), ST06 (Operating System Monitor), or SM50 (Process Overview) to check for resource bottlenecks. If the system is under heavy load, consider optimizing performance or increasing resources.
  
  
  Adjust Batch Size: If applicable, increase the batch size for processing deliveries to allow more deliveries to be processed in parallel.
  
  
  Review Locks: Check for any locks that may be preventing parallel processing. You can use transaction SM12 to view and manage locks.
  
  
  User Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to execute the process in parallel. Review the roles and authorizations assigned to the user.
  
  
  System Parameters: Check the system parameters related to parallel processing. You may need to adjust parameters in transaction RZ10 or RZ11 to allow for more parallel processes.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide guidance on configuration settings.
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP EWM documentation for detailed information on parallel processing and configuration settings.
  Performance Tuning: Consider engaging with SAP Basis or performance tuning experts if the issue persists, as they can provide insights into optimizing system performance.
  
  By addressing the above points, you should be able to resolve the error and enable parallel processing for delivery tasks in SAP EWM.
