• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY_CONF810 - Predecessor doc: doc. type &1 not allowed, item &2 contains category &3 ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY_CONF810 indicates that there is an issue with the predecessor document type in the context of a delivery confirmation process in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. The message typically states that the document type specified is not allowed for the item category mentioned.
  Cause:
  
  
  Document Type Restrictions: The predecessor document type (e.g., sales order, purchase order) is not allowed for the specific item category in the delivery confirmation process. This could be due to configuration settings in the system that restrict certain document types from being used with specific item categories.
  
  
  Item Category Issues: The item category specified in the error message may not be compatible with the document type being used. This can happen if the item category is set up to only allow certain document types.
  
  
  Configuration Settings: There may be configuration settings in the EWM or the underlying SAP system that define which document types are allowed for which item categories.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings in the SAP system for the item category and the predecessor document type. Ensure that the document type you are trying to use is allowed for the item category in question.
  
  
  Adjust Document Type: If the document type is not allowed, consider using a different document type that is compatible with the item category.
  
  
  Review Item Category Settings: Check the settings for the item category in the system to see if it can be modified to allow the desired document type.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP functional consultant to understand the specific rules and configurations that apply to your scenario.
  
  
  Testing: After making any changes, perform tests to ensure that the delivery confirmation process works as expected without triggering the error message.
