• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DLV_BATCH011 - Batch split: Create batch allowed for sub-item only ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DLV_BATCH011 indicates that a batch split operation is being attempted, but it is only allowed for sub-items in the context of batch management in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM). This error typically arises when there is an attempt to create a batch for a main item instead of a sub-item.
  Cause:
  
  Batch Management Configuration: The system is configured to allow batch management only for sub-items. Main items do not support batch splitting in the current configuration.
  Item Type: The item being processed is a main item, and the system is set up to restrict batch creation to sub-items only.
  Document Type: The type of document being processed may not support batch splitting for main items.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Item Type: Ensure that you are working with a sub-item if batch splitting is required. If you need to create a batch for a main item, consider whether it is necessary to split the batch at all.
  Review Configuration: 
  
  Go to the configuration settings in SAP EWM and check the batch management settings. Ensure that the configuration allows batch creation for the relevant item types.
  You may need to adjust the settings to allow batch management for main items if that is a requirement for your business process.
  
  
  Use Sub-Items: If the process requires batch splitting, consider creating sub-items for the main item and then perform the batch split on those sub-items.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team to understand the implications of changing batch management settings and ensure compliance with business processes.
