• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/ODATA_COMMON007 - Field "&1" contains negative numbers, please check your input. ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/ODATA_COMMON007 Field "&1" contains negative numbers, please check your input typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when using OData services. This error indicates that a field that is expected to contain only non-negative values has received a negative number as input.
  Cause:
  
  
  Invalid Input Data: The most common cause of this error is that the input data being sent to the OData service contains negative values for fields that are not allowed to have them. This could be due to:
  
  Incorrect data entry by the user.
  Issues in the data extraction or transformation process before sending it to SAP.
  Misconfiguration in the application that generates the input data.
  
  
  
  Business Logic Violation: Certain fields in SAP EWM are designed to only accept non-negative values (e.g., quantities, weights, etc.). If the business logic is violated by providing a negative value, this error will be triggered.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Input Data: Review the input data being sent to the OData service. Ensure that all fields that are supposed to contain non-negative values do not have negative numbers. This may involve:
  
  Validating user input forms.
  Checking data sources for any discrepancies.
  Implementing validation rules in the application layer to prevent negative values from being submitted.
  
  
  
  Debugging: If the error persists, you may need to debug the OData service call to identify where the negative value is being introduced. This could involve:
  
  Logging the input data before it is sent to the OData service.
  Using transaction codes like /IWFND/ERROR_LOG to check for any additional error messages or logs related to the OData service.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation for the specific OData service you are using to understand the expected input formats and constraints for each field.
  
  
  User Training: If the error is due to user input, consider providing training or guidelines to users on how to correctly enter data into the system.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  OData Services: Understand how OData services work in SAP and the data types expected for each field.
  SAP EWM Configuration: Familiarize yourself with the configuration settings in SAP EWM that define the behavior of various fields and their constraints.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your application to catch and manage such errors gracefully, providing users with clear feedback on what went wrong.
  
  By addressing the root cause of the negative input and ensuring proper validation, you can resolve the error and prevent it from occurring in the future.
