• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/PS_BASICS036 - If 'Display log only' is set, then 'Resubmit input file' is invalid ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/PS_BASICS036 typically occurs in the context of the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system, particularly when dealing with the processing of input files for various operations, such as inbound or outbound processing.
  Cause:
  The error message indicates that there is a conflict between the settings of the processing mode and the action being attempted. Specifically, if the system is set to "Display log only," it means that the system is configured to only show the logs of the processing without actually executing any actions. In this mode, attempting to "Resubmit input file" is invalid because the system is not in a state to process any input files; it is only meant to display logs.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Processing Mode: Verify the current processing mode in the system. If it is set to "Display log only," you will need to change it to a mode that allows for processing input files.
  
  
  Change Settings: If you need to process the input file, change the setting from "Display log only" to a mode that allows for actual processing (e.g., "Process input file"). This can usually be done in the configuration settings or the transaction where you are processing the input files.
  
  
  Resubmit Input File: Once the processing mode is set correctly, you can attempt to resubmit the input file again.
  
  
  Review Logs: If you are unsure why the system was set to "Display log only," review the logs to understand if there were any previous errors or issues that led to this setting.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP EWM that deal with input file processing, such as /SCWM/PR for processing inbound deliveries or /SCWM/OD for outbound deliveries.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message for additional context or updates that may address known issues.
  Documentation: Review the SAP EWM documentation for more details on input file processing and the implications of different processing modes.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or EWM support team for further assistance.
