• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/JIT024 - Items with JIT call reference must not be deleted ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/JIT024 Items with JIT call reference must not be deleted typically occurs in the context of the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system when there is an attempt to delete items that are associated with a Just-In-Time (JIT) call reference. This error is a safeguard to prevent the deletion of items that are critical for JIT processes, which are often time-sensitive and integral to production schedules.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when:
  
  You attempt to delete a material document or an item that has an active JIT call reference.
  The system identifies that the item is still linked to a JIT process, which means it is expected to be delivered or processed in a specific timeframe.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check JIT Call References: 
  
  Review the JIT call references associated with the item you are trying to delete. You can do this by navigating to the relevant JIT call or delivery document in the SAP system.
  
  
  
  Remove JIT Call Reference:
  
  If the JIT call reference is no longer needed, you may need to remove or cancel the JIT call. This can typically be done through the JIT call management transaction in EWM.
  
  
  
  Adjust Inventory:
  
  If the item is still required for JIT processes, consider adjusting the inventory or stock levels instead of deleting the item. This may involve transferring stock or adjusting the quantities.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for handling JIT processes and inventory management.
  
  
  
  Contact Support:
  
  If you are unsure about the implications of removing a JIT call reference or if the issue persists, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or a consultant who specializes in EWM.
