  The SAP error message /SCWM/DLV_BATCH302 indicates that the minimum remaining shelf life for a batch has been exceeded by a certain number of days. This error typically occurs in the context of warehouse management and inventory control, particularly when dealing with products that have a limited shelf life, such as food or pharmaceuticals.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when the system checks the remaining shelf life of a batch during a delivery or picking process. The message indicates that the remaining shelf life of the batch is less than the minimum required shelf life defined in the system. Specifically, the message states that the remaining shelf life is less than the minimum required by a certain number of days (indicated by &2).
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Batch Characteristics:
  
  Go to the batch management screen and check the characteristics of the batch in question. Look for the "Best Before Date" or "Expiration Date" and compare it with the current date.
  
  
  
  Adjust Minimum Shelf Life Settings:
  
  If the minimum shelf life settings are too strict for your business needs, you may consider adjusting them. This can be done in the material master data under the "Plant Data / Storage" view, where you can set the minimum remaining shelf life.
  
  
  
  Use a Different Batch:
  
  If the batch in question is not suitable for use due to its short remaining shelf life, consider using a different batch that meets the minimum shelf life requirements.
  
  
  
  Review Inventory Management Practices:
  
  Ensure that your inventory management practices are in line with the shelf life requirements. This may involve better rotation of stock (FIFO - First In, First Out) to ensure that older stock is used before it expires.
  
  
  
  Consult with Business Process Owners:
