• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/ODATA_SIMPLE019 - Deletion of HU not possible after goods receipt. ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/ODATA_SIMPLE019 indicates that the deletion of a Handling Unit (HU) is not possible after a goods receipt has been posted. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when there are restrictions on modifying or deleting HUs that have already been involved in a goods receipt process.
  Cause:
  
  Goods Receipt Completed: The primary reason for this error is that the goods receipt for the Handling Unit has already been completed. Once the goods receipt is posted, the system locks the HU to maintain data integrity.
  Open Processes: There may be open processes or transactions associated with the HU, such as stock transfers, deliveries, or other inventory movements that prevent deletion.
  System Configuration: Certain configurations in the system may restrict the deletion of HUs after specific processes have been completed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Open Processes: Verify if there are any open processes related to the HU. If there are, you may need to complete or cancel those processes before attempting to delete the HU.
  Use Alternative Methods: Instead of deleting the HU, consider using alternative methods such as:
  
  Changing the Status: If applicable, change the status of the HU to indicate it is no longer in use.
  Unloading or Moving: If the HU needs to be removed from inventory, consider unloading it or moving it to a different location instead of deleting it.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team to understand the specific configurations and restrictions in your system.
  Transaction Codes: Use relevant transaction codes (like /SCWM/PRDI for processing inbound deliveries) to manage the HUs appropriately.
  Custom Development: If the deletion of HUs is a frequent requirement, consider discussing with your SAP development team about creating a custom solution or transaction that allows for the deletion of HUs under specific conditions.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
  EWM Configuration: Review the configuration settings in your EWM system to understand how HUs are managed and what restrictions are in place.
  User Permissions: Ensure that the user attempting to delete the HU has the necessary permissions to perform this action.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to engage with SAP support for further assistance.
