• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DLV_SERIAL101 - Creation of SN for outb. delivery only if SN requirement document item ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DLV_SERIAL101 indicates that the system is trying to create a Serial Number (SN) for an outbound delivery, but it can only do so if there is a serial number requirement for the document item. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when handling serial numbers for products that require tracking.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Serial Number Requirement: The item in the outbound delivery does not have a serial number requirement defined. This means that the system does not expect a serial number to be assigned to that particular item.
  Configuration Issues: The configuration settings for the material or the delivery might not be set up to require serial numbers.
  Document Type Settings: The document type used for the outbound delivery may not be configured to handle serial numbers.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Serial Number Requirement:
  
  Go to the material master record for the item in question and check if the serial number requirement is set. This can be done in the Material Master (MM01/MM02) under the relevant views (e.g., Sales, Plant Data).
  Ensure that the item is marked as requiring a serial number.
  
  
  
  Adjust Delivery Item Settings:
  
  In the outbound delivery, check the item details to see if the serial number requirement is correctly set. You can do this by navigating to the delivery document and reviewing the item details.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings in the SAP system for the material type and the delivery type. Ensure that the settings allow for serial number tracking.
  You may need to consult with your SAP configuration team to ensure that the relevant settings are correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Use Correct Document Type:
  
  Ensure that the outbound delivery document type being used is configured to handle serial numbers. This can be checked in the configuration settings for delivery document types.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, create a new outbound delivery and check if the error persists. If the serial number requirement is correctly set, the system should allow the creation of the serial number.
