• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY_UI118 - You can only add items in ERP for documents created in ERP ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY_UI118 indicates that you are trying to add items to a delivery document in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system that was not created in the ERP system. This error typically arises when there is a mismatch between the source of the delivery document and the system you are working in.
  Cause:
  
  Document Origin: The delivery document you are trying to modify was created in a system other than ERP (e.g., it might have been created in EWM directly).
  Integration Settings: There may be configuration settings in the integration between EWM and ERP that restrict modifications to documents based on their origin.
  Document Type: Certain document types may have restrictions on where they can be modified.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Document Origin: Verify where the delivery document was created. If it was created in EWM, you will not be able to add items to it from the ERP side.
  Use the Correct System: If you need to add items to a delivery, ensure you are working in the correct system (ERP or EWM) based on where the document was created.
  Modify in EWM: If the document was created in EWM, you should perform any modifications directly in the EWM system.
  Review Integration Settings: Check the integration settings between EWM and ERP to ensure they are configured correctly. This may involve consulting with your SAP Basis or technical team.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to EWM and ERP integration for any specific guidelines or restrictions regarding document modifications.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional context.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in both EWM and ERP that pertain to delivery processing.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to modify delivery documents in the respective system.
  Training and Support: If you are unsure about the processes, consider seeking training or support from your SAP team or consulting services.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and understand the limitations regarding document modifications in SAP EWM and ERP.
