• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/EXCEPTION_CUST017 - Only one exception can be assigned to &1 &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/EXCEPTION_CUST017 indicates that there is an issue with the assignment of exceptions in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. Specifically, the message states that only one exception can be assigned to a particular object, which is identified by the placeholders &1 and &2. 
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when you attempt to assign multiple exceptions to a single object (such as a handling unit, warehouse task, or other relevant entities) where the system is designed to allow only one exception at a time. This could happen due to:
  
  Configuration Issues: The system may be configured to restrict multiple exceptions for certain objects.
  Data Entry Errors: Users may inadvertently try to assign multiple exceptions through the user interface or through a batch process.
  Custom Development: If there are custom enhancements or developments in the system, they may not adhere to the standard logic of exception handling.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Exceptions: Verify if there is already an exception assigned to the object in question. You can do this by checking the relevant transaction or report in EWM.
  
  
  Remove Existing Exception: If an exception is already assigned, you will need to remove it before assigning a new one. This can usually be done through the same transaction where you manage exceptions.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If you believe that the system should allow multiple exceptions, review the configuration settings in EWM to ensure they align with your business requirements.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to exception handling in EWM for any specific guidelines or limitations.
  
  
  Check for Custom Code: If there are custom developments, review the code to ensure it does not conflict with standard SAP behavior regarding exception handling.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists and you cannot identify the cause, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
  
  
  Related Information:
