• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY_CONF206 - Item type suitable for catch weight processing ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY_CONF206 indicates that the item in question is not suitable for catch weight processing. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when dealing with items that are expected to be managed using catch weight functionality, but the system has identified that the item type or configuration does not support this.
  Cause:
  
  Item Configuration: The item may not be configured as a catch weight item in the material master. Catch weight items are typically used for products where the weight can vary (e.g., meat, fish).
  Item Type: The item type may not be set up to allow catch weight processing. This can happen if the item is defined as a standard item rather than a catch weight item.
  Warehouse Settings: The warehouse settings may not be configured to handle catch weight items, leading to this error when trying to process deliveries or confirmations.
  Delivery Document: The delivery document may not be set up correctly to handle catch weight items, or the item may not be included in the delivery as a catch weight item.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master: 
  
  Go to the material master (transaction code MM03) and check the configuration of the item. Ensure that the item is set up as a catch weight item. This can be done by checking the "Catch Weight" indicator in the Basic Data or Sales views.
  
  
  
  Adjust Item Type:
  
  If the item is not set up correctly, you may need to change the item type to a catch weight type. This may involve creating a new material master record with the correct settings.
  
  
  
  Review Warehouse Configuration:
  
  Check the warehouse configuration in EWM to ensure that it supports catch weight processing. This includes checking the warehouse process types and ensuring they are set up to handle catch weight items.
  
  
  
  Delivery Document Review:
  
  Review the delivery document to ensure that the item is included correctly and that the catch weight details are specified. If necessary, recreate the delivery document with the correct item details.
