• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/PI_CUST013 - Periodicity of phys. inv. proced. not maintained for phys. inv. area &1 ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/PI_CUST013 indicates that the periodicity for the physical inventory procedure has not been maintained for a specific physical inventory area. This error typically occurs in the context of warehouse management and physical inventory processes within the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the absence of a defined periodicity for the physical inventory procedure in the configuration settings for the specified physical inventory area. The periodicity defines how often physical inventory counts should be conducted for that area.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to maintain the periodicity for the physical inventory procedure in the SAP system. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Customizing Settings:
  
  Go to the SAP Easy Access screen.
  Navigate to the following path: 
  Logistics -> Logistics Execution -> Warehouse Management -> Physical Inventory -> Define Physical Inventory Procedures
  
  
  
  
  Select the Physical Inventory Procedure:
  
  Find the physical inventory procedure that is relevant to your warehouse and physical inventory area.
  
  
  
  Maintain Periodicity:
  
  In the configuration for the selected physical inventory procedure, ensure that the periodicity is defined. This may involve specifying how often the physical inventory should be conducted (e.g., monthly, quarterly, annually).
  Save your changes.
  
  
  
  Assign the Procedure to the Physical Inventory Area:
  
  Ensure that the physical inventory procedure with the defined periodicity is assigned to the relevant physical inventory area.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the changes, try to execute the physical inventory process again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Physical Inventory Area: This is a specific area within the warehouse where physical inventory counts are conducted. Each area can have its own procedures and periodicity.
  Physical Inventory Procedure: This defines the rules and processes for conducting physical inventory counts, including how often counts should occur and how discrepancies are handled.
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like SPRO to access the customizing settings or LX02 to view physical inventory documents.
  
  If the error persists after following these steps, it may be necessary to check for additional configuration settings or consult with your SAP support team for further assistance.
