• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY511 - Main item has zero quantity: splitting is unnecessary ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY511 indicates that there is an issue with the delivery process in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. Specifically, the message states that the main item has a zero quantity, which means that there is no need to split the delivery because there is nothing to split.
  Cause:
  
  Zero Quantity: The main item in the delivery has a quantity of zero. This can happen if the item was not picked, or if there was an error in the order processing that resulted in a zero quantity being assigned.
  Incorrect Delivery Creation: The delivery might have been created incorrectly, leading to items being assigned a quantity of zero.
  Data Synchronization Issues: There may be issues with data synchronization between the source system (like SAP ERP) and the EWM system, leading to discrepancies in item quantities.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Item Quantities: Verify the quantities of the items in the delivery. If the main item has a zero quantity, you may need to adjust the quantities in the source document (like a sales order or purchase order) and recreate the delivery.
  Recreate the Delivery: If the delivery was created incorrectly, consider deleting the existing delivery and creating a new one with the correct quantities.
  Review Picking and Stock: Ensure that the picking process was completed correctly and that there is stock available for the items in question. If stock is not available, you may need to replenish it.
  Check for Errors in Previous Steps: Review the previous steps in the logistics process to identify any errors that may have led to the zero quantity. This could include checking the sales order, purchase order, or any other related documents.
  Consult Logs and Messages: Check the system logs and messages for any additional information that might indicate why the quantity is zero. This can provide insights into whether there were any issues during the order processing or delivery creation.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may want to use transaction codes like /SCWM/PRDI (for delivery processing) or /SCWM/ORDR (for order management) to investigate further.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address known issues related to this error message.
  Documentation: Review the SAP EWM documentation for guidelines on delivery processing and error handling.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a technical consultant who specializes in SAP EWM for further assistance.
