  The SAP error message /SCWM/GM757 indicates that a difference posting is being charged to a delivery, but this is only applicable for inbound deliveries. This error typically arises in the context of Warehouse Management (WM) or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when there is a discrepancy between the expected and actual quantities during the goods movement process.
  Cause:
  
  
  Mismatch in Quantities: The most common cause of this error is a mismatch between the quantity of goods expected in the delivery and the quantity actually received. This can happen due to various reasons such as:
  
  Damaged goods.
  Short shipments from the supplier.
  Errors in the delivery documentation.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The system may not be configured correctly to handle the difference postings for outbound deliveries, as the error specifically states that it is only applicable for inbound deliveries.
  
  
  Goods Movement Type: The goods movement type being used may not support difference postings for outbound deliveries.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Delivery Quantities: Verify the quantities in the delivery document against the actual quantities received. If there is a discrepancy, you may need to adjust the delivery or perform a goods receipt with the correct quantity.
