  The SAP error message /SCWM/DLV_BATCH402 indicates that there is an issue with the batch field being filled when a batch split is being processed in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error typically arises when the system expects a batch split to occur without a specific batch being assigned, but a batch number has been provided.
  Cause:
  The error occurs due to the following reasons:
  
  Batch Field Filled: The batch field is filled in the document or transaction where a batch split is being attempted. In a batch split scenario, the system expects that the batch field should not be filled.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the EWM that are not aligned with the expected behavior for batch management and splitting.
  Data Entry Error: Users may inadvertently enter a batch number when they should not have, leading to this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Batch Field: Ensure that the batch field is empty when performing a batch split. If you are manually entering data, make sure not to fill in the batch field.
  
  
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings in the EWM for batch management and splitting. Ensure that the settings align with your business processes and that they allow for batch splits without requiring a batch number.
  
  
  Correct Data Entry: If the error is due to incorrect data entry, correct the input by removing the batch number from the relevant fields before attempting the batch split again.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help resources related to batch management and batch splitting in EWM for additional guidance.
  
  
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the process to identify where the batch field is being populated incorrectly. This may involve looking at user exits, BAdIs, or custom code that could be affecting the behavior.
