  The SAP error message /SCWM/L3513 indicates that specifying a destination logical position is not allowed for the specified storage type in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error typically arises when trying to perform a warehouse task or transfer that involves a storage type that does not support the use of destination logical positions.
  Cause:
  The error can occur due to several reasons:
  
  Storage Type Configuration: The storage type you are trying to use may not be configured to allow destination logical positions. Certain storage types, such as bulk storage or open storage areas, may not support this feature.
  Warehouse Process Type: The warehouse process type being used may not be compatible with the storage type in question.

  Ensure that the storage type is set up correctly and that it allows for destination logical positions if that is required for your process.
