• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY_CONF117 - System profile &1 only allows communication via delivery interface ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY_CONF117 indicates that the system profile specified (denoted as &1) is configured to only allow communication through the delivery interface.

  Check System Profile Settings: Review the configuration of the system profile in transaction RZ10 or RZ11. Ensure that the profile allows the necessary communication methods for delivery confirmations.
  Use the Correct Interface: Ensure that the delivery confirmation is being processed through the correct interface as defined by the system profile. This may involve using the appropriate transaction codes or APIs that are compliant with the delivery interface.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific version of EWM you are using to understand the implications of the system profile settings.
  Adjust Profile if Necessary: If the current settings are too restrictive for your business processes, consider adjusting the system profile to allow additional communication methods. This should be done with caution and ideally in consultation with your SAP Basis or technical team.
