  The SAP error message /SCWM/ERPINTEGRATION868 indicates that there is an attempt to post transactions to both embedded and decentralized warehouses simultaneously, which is not allowed in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system. This error typically arises in scenarios where the system is configured to handle warehouse management in both embedded (where EWM is integrated directly into the SAP S/4HANA system) and decentralized (where EWM operates as a standalone system) modes.
  Cause:

  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to warehouse management integration to understand the limitations and requirements for your specific setup.
