• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DS_CORE109 - You can use option 'EQ' only for start time or end time of a time range ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DS_CORE109 indicates that there is an issue with the way a time range is being specified in a query or selection screen within the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. Specifically, the error states that the option 'EQ' (equal) can only be used for either the start time or the end time of a time range, but not both.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when:
  
  You are trying to filter a time range using the 'EQ' operator for both the start time and end time fields simultaneously.
  The system expects a range (e.g., greater than or less than) rather than an equality check for both ends of the time range.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Adjust the Query: Modify your selection criteria to use 'EQ' for either the start time or the end time, but not both. For example:
  
  If you want to find records that start at a specific time, set the start time with 'EQ' and use a range operator (like 'GT' or 'LT') for the end time.
  Conversely, if you want to filter by end time, set the end time with 'EQ' and use a range operator for the start time.
  
  
  
  Use Range Operators: Instead of using 'EQ' for both, consider using 'GT' (greater than) for the start time and 'LT' (less than) for the end time to define a valid range.
  
  
  Check Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific transaction or report you are using to ensure you are using the correct operators and syntax.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might provide additional context or updates regarding this error message.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with the transaction codes related to the EWM module, as they may have specific requirements for time range queries.
  Testing: After making adjustments, test the query again to ensure that it executes without errors.
  
  If the problem persists after making these adjustments, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert for further assistance.
