• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/GTS_CHECK027 - Split is not allowed, because of licence relevancy of the item(s) ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/GTS_CHECK027 indicates that a split of a handling unit (HU) or a stock item is not allowed due to licensing relevance. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) and Global Trade Services (GTS) when dealing with items that are subject to specific licensing requirements.
  Cause:
  
  Licensing Requirements: The item in question may be subject to export control regulations or licensing requirements. This means that the item cannot be split into different handling units or stock types because it is tied to specific legal or compliance obligations.
  Item Configuration: The item may be configured in such a way that it is marked as license-relevant in the system, which restricts its handling.
  Handling Unit (HU) Management: The handling unit may contain items that are not allowed to be split due to their licensing status.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Item Configuration: Check the configuration of the item in question. Ensure that the licensing settings are appropriate and that the item is not incorrectly marked as license-relevant if it should not be.
  Check Handling Unit Contents: If the handling unit contains multiple items, verify if any of the items are license-relevant. If so, you may need to handle these items as a complete unit rather than splitting them.
  Consult Compliance Regulations: If the item is indeed subject to licensing, consult your compliance team or legal department to understand the implications and ensure that you are following the necessary regulations.
  Use Alternative Processes: If splitting is not allowed, consider alternative processes for managing inventory or handling units that comply with licensing requirements.
  SAP Notes and Documentation: Check for any relevant SAP Notes or documentation that may provide additional insights or updates regarding this error message.
