  The SAP error message /SCWM/L3561 indicates that there is a discrepancy in the source location when trying to perform a stock transfer or a similar operation in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. The specific message states that a difference on the source location is not possible if the source location is the same as the target location.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in the following scenarios:
  
  Same Source and Target Location: The operation you are trying to perform involves the same source and target location. For example, if you are trying to transfer stock from location A to location A, the system does not allow for a difference to be recorded because it does not make sense to have a difference in the same location.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a configuration issue in the warehouse settings that does not allow for differences to be processed correctly.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Source and Target Locations: Ensure that the source and target locations are indeed different. If you intended to move stock from one location to another, verify that you are not mistakenly using the same location for both.
  
  
  Adjust the Operation: If you need to record a difference, you may need to adjust your operation to ensure that the source and target locations are different. For example, if you are performing a stock adjustment, ensure that you are adjusting stock from one location to another.
  
  
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings in your EWM system to ensure that they are set up correctly for handling stock differences. This may involve reviewing warehouse management settings or stock type configurations.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on handling stock differences and the specific requirements for your warehouse setup.
