The SAP error message
/SCWM/L3176
indicates an issue related to the ending dispatching quantity for preallocated stock in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error typically arises when there is a discrepancy between the expected and actual quantities of stock that are preallocated for a specific task or order.Cause:
- Quantity Mismatch: The most common cause is a mismatch between the quantity that has been preallocated for a task and the quantity that is actually available in the warehouse.
- Stock Changes: Changes in stock levels due to other transactions (like goods receipts, goods issues, or stock transfers) can lead to this error if they occur after the preallocation has been made.
- Task Management Issues: If there are issues with task management or if tasks are not being processed correctly, it can lead to discrepancies in the expected quantities.
- Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration settings in the EWM system can also lead to this error.
Solution:
- Check Stock Levels: Verify the stock levels in the warehouse to ensure that the preallocated quantity matches the available stock. You can do this by checking the stock overview in the EWM system.
- Adjust Preallocation: If there is a mismatch, you may need to adjust the preallocated quantities to match the available stock. This can involve reassigning tasks or adjusting the quantities in the relevant documents.
- Review Task Management: Ensure that all tasks related to the preallocated stock are being processed correctly. Check for any pending tasks that may be affecting the stock levels.
- Reprocess the Task: If the task is still open, you may need to reprocess it or create a new task to handle the stock correctly.
- Consult Logs: Check the application logs for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context on the issue.
- Configuration Review: If the issue persists, review the configuration settings in EWM to ensure that they are set up correctly for handling preallocated stock.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
