• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/MFS114 - Unable to determine PLC for sender &1 or recipient &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/MFS114 Unable to determine PLC for sender &1 or recipient &2 typically occurs in the context of the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system, particularly when dealing with the integration of the Material Flow System (MFS). This error indicates that the system is unable to determine the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) for either the sender or the recipient in a material flow process.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Configuration: The PLC configuration for the sender or recipient is not set up in the system. This could be due to missing entries in the relevant customizing settings.
  Incorrect Master Data: The master data for the sender or recipient might be incomplete or incorrect, leading to the inability to link them to the appropriate PLC.
  Transport System Issues: There may be issues with the transport system configuration that prevent the system from identifying the PLC.
  Logical Connections: The logical connections between the warehouse and the PLC may not be properly defined.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check PLC Configuration:
  
  Go to the customizing settings in SAP EWM and ensure that the PLCs are correctly defined for both the sender and recipient.
  Navigate to the relevant configuration path (e.g., SPRO -> Extended Warehouse Management -> Interfaces -> Material Flow System -> Define PLCs).
  
  
  
  Verify Master Data:
  
  Check the master data for the sender and recipient (e.g., storage bins, handling units) to ensure that they are correctly set up and linked to the appropriate PLC.
  Ensure that the relevant warehouse process types are correctly assigned to the sender and recipient.
  
  
  
  Review Transport System Settings:
  
  Ensure that the transport system is correctly configured and that the connections between the warehouse and the PLC are properly established.
