• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/MFS074 - Only outbound telegrams can be resent ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/MFS074 Only outbound telegrams can be resent typically occurs in the context of the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system, particularly when dealing with the Mobile Framework System (MFS) for communication between the warehouse management system and automated systems (like conveyor systems or automated storage/retrieval systems).
  Cause:
  This error message indicates that there is an attempt to resend a telegram that is not classified as an outbound telegram. In the context of MFS, telegrams are messages sent between the SAP system and the automated systems. Outbound telegrams are those that are sent from the SAP system to the automated systems, while inbound telegrams are those sent from the automated systems back to SAP.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should ensure that you are only attempting to resend outbound telegrams. Here are some steps you can take:
  
  
  Check the Telegram Type: Verify the type of telegram you are trying to resend. Ensure that it is indeed an outbound telegram.
  
  
  Review the Process Flow: Look at the process flow to ensure that the telegram you are trying to resend is appropriate for the current operation. If it is an inbound telegram, you will need to handle it differently.
  
  
  Use the Correct Functionality: If you need to resend a telegram, make sure you are using the correct transaction or function in SAP that allows for the resending of outbound telegrams.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for MFS to understand the specific requirements and limitations regarding telegrams.
  
  
  Check for System Issues: If you believe the telegram should be outbound but is being classified incorrectly, check for any system issues or bugs that may be affecting the classification of telegrams.
  
  
  Contact Support: If the issue persists and you cannot determine the cause, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal IT team for further assistance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional context.

  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP EWM and MFS that deal with telegram management, such as /SCWM/MFS related transactions.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and take appropriate action to resolve it.
