• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY583 - &1 locked documents were validated ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY583 indicates that there are locked documents that were validated during a delivery process in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error typically arises when there are issues with document locks that prevent the system from processing certain transactions.
  Cause:
  
  
  Document Locking: The error usually occurs when a document (like a delivery or transfer order) is locked by another process or user. This can happen if:
  
  Another user is currently processing the same document.
  A previous transaction did not complete successfully, leaving the document in a locked state.
  There are background jobs or processes that are holding locks on the document.
  
  
  
  Concurrency Issues: Multiple users or processes trying to access or modify the same document simultaneously can lead to locking issues.
  
  
  System Configuration: Incorrect configuration in the EWM settings or in the document processing logic can also lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Identify Locked Documents: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for locked entries. You can filter by user or document number to find the specific locks.
  
  
  Release Locks: If you identify that a document is locked unnecessarily, you can manually release the lock using the same transaction (SM12). However, be cautious when doing this, as it may affect other users or processes.
  
  
  Check Background Jobs: Ensure that there are no background jobs that are holding locks on the documents. You can check this using transaction SM37.
  
  
  Review User Activity: If multiple users are accessing the same document, consider coordinating their activities to avoid conflicts.
  
  
  System Configuration Review: If the issue persists, review the EWM configuration settings to ensure that they are set up correctly. This may involve checking the settings for document processing and locking mechanisms.
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant notes or patches that may address this specific error message.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue cannot be resolved through the above steps, consider reaching out to SAP Support for further assistance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SM12 (to view and manage locks), SM37 (to monitor background jobs), and SLG1 (to check application logs).
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to EWM and document processing to understand the locking mechanisms better.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on how to handle document processing to minimize locking issues.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to diagnose and resolve the /SCWM/DELIVERY583 error effectively.
