• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/LT291 - Table &1 does not contain any data ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/LT291 Table &1 does not contain any data typically occurs in the context of the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when the system is trying to access a table that is expected to have data, but it is empty. This can happen in various scenarios, such as during the execution of a transaction, report, or when trying to display data related to warehouse operations.
  Causes:
  
  
  No Data in the Table: The most straightforward cause is that the specified table (denoted by &1 in the error message) genuinely does not contain any data. This could be due to:
  
  No transactions have been processed that would populate the table.
  Data has been deleted or archived.
  The system is in a state where data has not yet been created (e.g., after a fresh installation or configuration).
  
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The system might be misconfigured, leading to the absence of expected data. This could involve settings related to warehouse processes, master data, or integration with other modules.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view the data in the table, leading to the perception that it is empty.
  
  
  Timing Issues: If the system is in the middle of a data processing job or batch job, it might temporarily show no data.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Data Population: Verify if the relevant processes that should populate the table have been executed. For example, if the table is supposed to contain inventory data, ensure that goods movements have been posted.
  
  
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings related to the warehouse and the specific processes that should populate the table. Ensure that all necessary master data (like products, storage bins, etc.) is correctly set up.
  
  
  User Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the data in the table. This can be checked with the help of a system administrator.
  
  
  Data Consistency Check: Run consistency checks or reports to identify any issues with data integrity in the warehouse management module.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific table and its expected behavior. This can provide insights into what data should be present and how it is populated.
  
  
  Debugging: If you have access to technical resources, consider debugging the transaction or report that is generating the error to understand why it is trying to access an empty table.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in EWM that might help in troubleshooting, such as /SCWM/PRDI for displaying inventory or /SCWM/PRDI for managing warehouse tasks.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the error message. You can search for the error message or related keywords in the SAP Support Portal.
