  The SAP error message /SCWM/MFS048 Mapping structure for telegram type &1 of PLC &2 not found typically occurs in the context of the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system, particularly when dealing with the integration of Material Flow Systems (MFS) and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). This error indicates that the system is unable to find the mapping structure for a specific telegram type associated with a given PLC.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Mapping Structure: The primary cause of this error is that the mapping structure for the specified telegram type and PLC is not defined in the system.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the MFS settings, where the telegram type or PLC is not properly set up.
  Data Inconsistency: There could be inconsistencies in the data or configuration that prevent the system from recognizing the mapping structure.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was recently transported from another system, the mapping structure may not have been included in the transport.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Mapping Configuration:
  
  Go to the MFS configuration in SAP EWM and verify that the mapping structure for the specified telegram type and PLC is correctly defined.
  Ensure that the mapping structure exists in the system and is active.
  
  
  
  Define Missing Mapping Structure:
  
  If the mapping structure is indeed missing, you will need to create it. This can typically be done in the Customizing settings under the MFS area.
  Use transaction code SPRO to navigate to the relevant configuration settings and define the mapping structure.
  
  
  
  Review PLC and Telegram Type Settings:
  
  Check the settings for the PLC and the telegram type in the system to ensure they are correctly configured and linked to the appropriate mapping structure.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If the configuration was recently transported, check the transport request to ensure that all necessary objects, including the mapping structure, were included in the transport.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on configuring MFS and mapping structures.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform tests to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the system can successfully process the telegrams.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SPRO for configuration, SCWM/MFS for MFS settings, and SCWM/PL for PLC settings.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to MFS and telegram mapping that may provide additional insights or solutions.
