• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/LM_EPD006 - Performance document can only be changed while having status 'Created' ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/LM_EPD006 indicates that a performance document in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system can only be modified when it is in the 'Created' status. This error typically arises when a user attempts to change a performance document that has already been processed or is in a status that does not allow modifications.
  Cause:
  
  Status Restriction: The performance document has been moved to a status other than 'Created'. Common statuses that may prevent changes include 'Completed', 'In Process', or 'Closed'.
  Business Logic: The system is designed to prevent changes to documents that have already been finalized to maintain data integrity and accuracy in reporting.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Document Status: Verify the current status of the performance document. If it is not in 'Created' status, you will not be able to make changes.
  Revert Status (if applicable): If your business process allows it, you may need to revert the document to 'Created' status. This typically requires specific authorizations and may involve additional steps, such as reversing or canceling related transactions.
  Create a New Document: If the document cannot be reverted to 'Created' status, consider creating a new performance document with the necessary changes instead of modifying the existing one.
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP EWM documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for handling performance documents to ensure compliance with business processes.
  Contact Support: If you are unsure about the status or how to proceed, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or a functional consultant for assistance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP EWM Documentation: Refer to the official SAP EWM documentation for detailed information on performance documents and their statuses.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view and modify performance documents.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP EWM that pertain to performance document management, such as /SCWM/PRD for performance document processing.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the error message and proceed with your tasks in SAP EWM.
