• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/PRINT039 - Determin. 'number of copies' overwritten by fixed number &1 ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/PRINT039 Determ. 'number of copies' overwritten by fixed number &1 typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when there is an issue with the configuration of print settings for documents such as delivery notes, pick lists, or other warehouse-related documents.
  Cause:
  This error message indicates that the system is trying to determine the number of copies to print based on certain settings, but it has been overridden by a fixed number. This can happen due to:
  
  Configuration Settings: The print settings in the output determination configuration may have been set to a fixed number of copies instead of allowing dynamic determination based on the document or user input.
  Output Type Settings: The output type configuration may specify a fixed number of copies, which overrides any dynamic settings.
  User Parameters: User-specific settings or parameters may also dictate a fixed number of copies, leading to this message.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Output Determination Configuration:
  
  Go to the output determination configuration for the relevant document type in EWM.
  Verify the settings for the output type and ensure that the number of copies is not set to a fixed value unless intended.
  
  
  
  Adjust Output Type Settings:
  
  Navigate to the output type settings in the SPRO configuration.
  Look for the field that specifies the number of copies and change it to allow for dynamic determination if necessary.
  
  
  
  Review User Parameters:
  
  Check if there are any user-specific parameters that might be enforcing a fixed number of copies.
  Adjust these parameters if they are not aligned with the desired printing behavior.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, perform a test print to ensure that the issue is resolved and that the number of copies is now being determined correctly.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed guidance on configuring output determination and print settings in EWM.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  Support: If the issue persists after checking configurations, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP team for further assistance.
