• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/RF_DE145 - Only specified serial number is allowed ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/RF_DE145 Only specified serial number is allowed typically occurs in the context of the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system when dealing with serial numbers during warehouse operations, particularly in radio frequency (RF) transactions.
  Cause:
  This error message indicates that the system is expecting a specific serial number to be processed, but the serial number being entered does not match the expected value. This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  Incorrect Serial Number Entry: The user may have entered a serial number that is not associated with the item being processed.
  Serial Number Management Settings: The system may be configured to only allow specific serial numbers for certain operations, and the entered serial number does not meet these criteria.
  Stock Status: The serial number may be in a stock status that does not allow it to be processed (e.g., blocked, in quality inspection).
  Warehouse Process Configuration: The warehouse process may be set up to require specific serial numbers for certain tasks, and the entered serial number does not comply.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  Verify Serial Number: Ensure that the serial number you are entering is correct and matches the one that is expected for the item you are processing.
  Check Serial Number Assignment: Use transaction codes like /SCWM/PRDI or /SCWM/PRDI to check the serial number assignment for the relevant stock. Make sure the serial number is assigned to the correct material and is in the correct stock type.
  Review Warehouse Process Configuration: Check the configuration settings for the warehouse process to ensure that the serial number requirements are correctly set up. This may involve reviewing the settings in the EWM customizing (SPRO).
  Consult with Warehouse Management: If you are unsure about the serial number requirements, consult with your warehouse management team or SAP EWM consultant to clarify the expected serial numbers for the operation you are performing.
  Check Stock Status: Ensure that the stock status of the serial number allows it to be processed. If it is blocked or in quality inspection, you may need to resolve those issues first.
