• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DLV_API221 - No decimals allowed in quantity ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DLV_API221 No decimals allowed in quantity typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when a quantity is being processed that includes decimal values, but the system is configured to only accept whole numbers for that particular operation or field.
  Cause:
  
  Decimal Quantity Input: The most common cause is that the quantity being entered or processed includes decimal places (e.g., 10.5), while the system expects a whole number (e.g., 10).
  Configuration Settings: The configuration for the material or the specific process may be set to only allow integer quantities. This can be due to the material type, unit of measure, or specific settings in the warehouse management configuration.
  Unit of Measure (UoM): The unit of measure for the material may not support decimal quantities. For example, if the UoM is set to "EA" (each), it typically does not allow for decimal quantities.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Input Quantity: Ensure that the quantity being entered is a whole number. If you need to process a fractional quantity, check if the material and its UoM support it.
  Review Material Master Data: Go to the material master data and check the settings for the unit of measure. Ensure that the UoM allows for decimal quantities if that is required for your operations.
  Adjust Configuration: If decimal quantities are necessary for your business processes, you may need to adjust the configuration in SAP EWM. This could involve changing the UoM settings or reviewing the relevant configuration in the warehouse management settings.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team to understand the specific configuration settings that may be causing this restriction.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Material Master: Check the material master record for the specific material to see the allowed units of measure and their settings.
  Warehouse Management Configuration: Review the configuration settings in the SAP EWM system to ensure they align with your business requirements.
  SAP Notes: Look for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this issue or provide additional guidance on handling quantities in EWM.
  Testing: After making any changes, conduct tests to ensure that the error does not occur again and that the system behaves as expected.
  
  If the issue persists after checking these areas, it may be beneficial to engage with SAP support or a consultant who specializes in SAP EWM for further assistance.
