• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/MONITOR014 - All selected lines must have the same document category ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/MONITOR014 indicates that when trying to perform an action in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system, the selected lines in a document do not share the same document category. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when processing inbound or outbound deliveries, handling stock transfers, or managing warehouse tasks.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises when:
  
  Mixed Document Categories: You are trying to process multiple documents (e.g., deliveries, transfer orders) that belong to different categories. For example, you might be trying to select both inbound and outbound deliveries at the same time.
  Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used in the transaction or report may inadvertently include documents of different categories.
  User Actions: The user may have selected lines from different document types or categories without realizing it.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Document Categories: Review the selected lines to ensure they all belong to the same document category. You can do this by checking the document type or category in the details of each selected line.
  
  
  Select Uniform Lines: When making selections, ensure that you only select lines that share the same document category. If you need to process different categories, do so in separate actions.
  
  
  Use Filters: If available, use filtering options in the transaction to limit your selection to a single document category.
  
  
  Review Transaction Logic: If you are using a custom transaction or report, ensure that the logic correctly handles selections and does not allow mixed categories.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance related to the transaction you are using.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional context.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with the transaction codes related to warehouse management, such as /SCWM/PRDI for inbound processing or /SCWM/PRDO for outbound processing.
  User Roles and Permissions: Ensure that your user role has the necessary permissions to perform the actions you are attempting, as restrictions may also lead to unexpected errors.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert for further assistance.
