• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/LT119 - Deletion of UOM for weight / volume only for data without values ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/LT119 typically indicates an issue related to the deletion of a Unit of Measure (UOM) for weight or volume in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error occurs when there is an attempt to delete a UOM that is only associated with data that does not have any values.
  Cause:
  
  UOM Deletion Attempt: The error arises when a user tries to delete a UOM that is defined for weight or volume but is not linked to any actual data (e.g., stock, inventory, etc.).
  Data Integrity: SAP enforces data integrity rules, and if a UOM is still referenced in the system, it cannot be deleted. The system checks for any existing values associated with that UOM before allowing deletion.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check UOM Usage: Before attempting to delete a UOM, check if it is being used in any transactions, materials, or stock items. You can do this by:
  
  Running reports to see if the UOM is linked to any materials or stock.
  Checking the material master data for any references to the UOM.
  
  
  
  Remove References: If the UOM is linked to any data, you will need to remove those references first. This may involve:
  
  Changing the UOM for materials that are currently using it.
  Ensuring that there are no open transactions or stock items that reference the UOM.
  
  
  
  Delete UOM: Once you have confirmed that the UOM is not in use, you can proceed to delete it from the system.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the process or need further assistance, consult the SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for guidance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like MM02 (Change Material) or CUNI (Unit of Measure) to manage UOMs.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might provide additional insights or updates related to this error message.
  EWM Configuration: Review the EWM configuration settings to ensure that UOMs are set up correctly and that there are no inconsistencies in the configuration.
