• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/ODATA_API038 - Use separate change sets to update and print for &1 ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/ODATA_API038 Use separate change sets to update and print for &1 typically occurs in the context of the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system when using the OData API for operations related to warehouse management tasks, such as updating and printing documents.
  Cause:
  This error message indicates that there is an attempt to perform both an update and a print operation in a single change set. In the context of OData services, a change set is a way to group multiple operations that should be executed together. However, certain operations, like updating data and printing documents, need to be handled separately to ensure data integrity and proper processing.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should separate the update and print operations into different change sets. Here’s how you can do that:
  
  
  Separate Change Sets: 
  
  When you are making a request to the OData service, ensure that the update operation (e.g., updating a document) is in one change set, and the print operation (e.g., triggering a print job) is in another change set.
  This means you will need to send two separate requests: one for the update and another for the print.
  
  
  
  Check OData Request Structure:
  
  Review the structure of your OData request to ensure that the operations are correctly defined in separate change sets.
  Make sure that the syntax and format of the requests conform to the OData standards.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the changes, test the requests to ensure that the update and print operations are processed correctly without triggering the error.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for the OData API in EWM for detailed guidelines on how to structure your requests and understand the limitations of operations.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums where other users may have encountered similar issues and can provide insights or solutions.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider enabling debugging or logging to capture more detailed information about the requests being sent and the responses received.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully perform the required operations in SAP EWM using the OData API.
