• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY705 - Quantity of item &1 is not changeable. ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY705 indicates that the quantity of a specific item in a delivery cannot be changed. This error typically arises in the context of the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when trying to modify the quantity of an item in a delivery document.
  Causes:
  
  Delivery Status: The delivery may be in a status that does not allow changes. For example, if the delivery has already been picked, packed, or confirmed, the system may lock the quantities to prevent further modifications.
  Document Type Restrictions: Certain document types may have restrictions on changing quantities after certain processes have been executed.
  Stock Availability: If the stock has already been allocated or confirmed for the delivery, the system may prevent changes to the quantity.
  Integration with Other Modules: If the delivery is integrated with other modules (like Sales and Distribution or Materials Management), changes may be restricted based on the status in those modules.
  User Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to change the delivery quantities.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Delivery Status: Review the status of the delivery. If it is in a completed state (e.g., picked or confirmed), you may need to reverse or cancel the relevant processes before making changes.
  Use the Correct Transaction: Ensure you are using the appropriate transaction code for modifying deliveries. For example, use the transaction for changing deliveries rather than creating new ones.
  Adjust Stock Levels: If stock has been allocated, you may need to adjust the stock levels or unallocate the stock before changing the delivery quantity.
  Consult with Your SAP Administrator: If you suspect that the issue is related to user authorizations or document type restrictions, consult with your SAP administrator or support team to review the settings.
  Create a New Delivery: If changing the quantity is not possible, consider creating a new delivery with the correct quantities.
