• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/PIPAPER006 - Can't count a warehouse order for multiple physical inventory documents ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/PIPAPER006 indicates that there is an issue with counting a warehouse order that is associated with multiple physical inventory documents. This typically occurs in the context of the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when trying to perform a physical inventory count.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the system's restriction on counting a warehouse order that is linked to more than one physical inventory document. In SAP EWM, each physical inventory document is expected to be counted independently, and the system does not allow the counting of a warehouse order that is associated with multiple documents simultaneously.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Identify the Warehouse Order: Determine which warehouse order is causing the issue. You can do this by checking the details of the warehouse order in the EWM system.
  
  
  Check Physical Inventory Documents: Review the physical inventory documents associated with the warehouse order. You can do this by navigating to the physical inventory document management in SAP EWM.
  
  
  Separate Counting: If the warehouse order is indeed linked to multiple physical inventory documents, you will need to separate the counting process. This means you should:
  
  Count the items for one physical inventory document at a time.
  Ensure that each warehouse order is only associated with one physical inventory document during the counting process.
  
  
  
  Adjust Warehouse Order: If necessary, you may need to adjust the warehouse order to ensure it is only linked to a single physical inventory document. This may involve splitting the warehouse order or reassigning items to different orders.
  
  
  Re-attempt Counting: After making the necessary adjustments, try to perform the counting operation again for the warehouse order.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes or Knowledge Base Articles (KBAs) that may provide additional insights or updates regarding this error message.
