  The SAP error message /SCWM/GM120 typically relates to issues with changing the stock type in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error can occur when there are inconsistencies or issues with the stock type change process, which may involve various factors such as stock status, inventory management, or system configuration.
  Causes:
  
  Stock Status Issues: The stock you are trying to change may be in a status that does not allow for a change in stock type (e.g., stock in quality inspection, blocked stock).
  Open Documents: There may be open documents (like transfer orders or deliveries) that are preventing the stock type change.
  Configuration Issues: The system configuration may not allow for the stock type change due to settings in the warehouse management or inventory management modules.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the stock type change.
  Batch Management: If batch management is enabled, there may be restrictions based on batch status or characteristics.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Stock Status: Verify the current status of the stock you are trying to change. If it is in a restricted status, you may need to change it to a status that allows for the stock type change.
  Clear Open Documents: Ensure that there are no open transfer orders, deliveries, or other documents that are linked to the stock. You may need to complete or cancel these documents before proceeding.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings in the EWM and inventory management modules to ensure that they allow for the desired stock type change.
  User Authorizations: Confirm that the user attempting the change has the necessary authorizations. If not, contact your system administrator to grant the required permissions.
