• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DLV_API028 - Goods movement bin &1 already set for item &2/&3 ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DLV_API028 indicates that there is an issue with the goods movement in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. Specifically, it means that the goods movement bin (the storage location where the goods are being moved to or from) is already set for the specified item, which can lead to conflicts or inconsistencies in the inventory management process.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Movement: The error typically occurs when there is an attempt to process a goods movement for an item that is already assigned to a specific bin. This can happen if:
  
  A goods movement is being processed multiple times for the same item.
  There is a system or user error that causes the same item to be processed in the same bin simultaneously.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the EWM system that are not aligned with the expected behavior for goods movements.
  
  
  Data Integrity Issues: There could be issues with the data integrity in the system, such as incomplete transactions or inconsistencies in the database.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Movements: Review the current status of the item in question. Check if there are any existing goods movements for the same item and bin. If so, ensure that those movements are completed or canceled before attempting a new movement.
  
  
  Transaction Logs: Look into the transaction logs to identify if there are any duplicate entries or errors that may have caused the issue.
  
  
  System Configuration: Verify the configuration settings in the EWM system to ensure that they are set up correctly for handling goods movements. This may involve checking the settings for the relevant warehouse processes.
  
  
  Data Consistency Check: Run data consistency checks in the EWM system to identify and resolve any discrepancies that may exist in the database.
  
  
  User Training: If the issue is due to user error, consider providing additional training to users on how to properly process goods movements to avoid duplication.
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes or updates that may address this specific error message. There may be patches or updates that resolve known issues.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in EWM, such as /SCWM/PRDI for inbound deliveries or /SCWM/PRDO for outbound deliveries, to manage goods movements effectively.
  Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for Extended Warehouse Management for detailed information on goods movements and error handling.
  Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance, providing them with detailed information about the error and the steps taken to resolve it.
