• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DS_CORE018 - Appointment &1 arrived at dock ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DS_CORE018 Appointment &1 arrived at dock typically occurs in the context of the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error indicates that an appointment has already arrived at the dock, and the system is preventing further actions that could conflict with the current status of the appointment.
  Cause:
  
  Appointment Status: The appointment referenced by &1 has already been marked as "arrived" at the dock. This means that the system recognizes that the vehicle or shipment associated with this appointment is already at the designated location.
  Duplicate Actions: There may be an attempt to perform an action (like creating a new appointment, modifying the existing one, or processing a delivery) that is not allowed because the appointment is already in the "arrived" state.
  System Configuration: There may be specific configurations or business rules in place that restrict actions on appointments that have already been marked as arrived.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Appointment Status: Verify the status of the appointment in the system. If it is indeed marked as "arrived," you may need to proceed with the next steps in the process rather than trying to modify or re-create the appointment.
  Review Actions: If you are trying to perform an action that is not allowed, consider what the next appropriate step is. For example, if you need to process goods receipt or confirm loading/unloading, ensure you are following the correct procedure.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP EWM documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for handling appointments and dock management.
  Contact Support: If you believe this message is appearing in error or if you need further assistance, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert who can provide insights based on your specific configuration and business processes.
