• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/POHU045 - Delivery item selection requires a single outbound delivery order number ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/POHU045 Delivery item selection requires a single outbound delivery order number typically occurs in the context of the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when trying to process outbound deliveries. This error indicates that the system expects a single outbound delivery order number for the operation you are trying to perform, but it has received multiple or no delivery order numbers.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Delivery Orders: The operation you are trying to perform (like picking, packing, or confirming) is being attempted on multiple outbound delivery orders at once, which is not allowed in this context.
  No Delivery Order: The system may not have received any outbound delivery order number, leading to the inability to process the request.
  Incorrect Selection: The user may have selected multiple items or deliveries in the interface that are not compatible with the operation being performed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Select a Single Delivery Order: Ensure that you are selecting only one outbound delivery order number when performing the operation. If you have multiple orders, process them one at a time.
  Check the Selection Criteria: Review the criteria you are using to select delivery items. Make sure that you are not inadvertently selecting multiple orders.
  Review the Transaction: If you are using a specific transaction code or interface, ensure that it is designed to handle single delivery orders. If it is not, you may need to switch to a different transaction or method.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for the specific transaction you are using to ensure you are following the correct procedure.
  System Configuration: If the issue persists, it may be necessary to check the system configuration or consult with your SAP Basis or EWM support team to ensure that the system is set up correctly for handling outbound deliveries.
