• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/RF_EN039 - Batch number &1 is not permitted ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/RF_EN039 Batch number &1 is not permitted typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when a user attempts to process a batch that is not allowed for a specific operation or transaction. This can happen for various reasons, including batch status, batch determination settings, or configuration issues.
  Causes:
  
  Batch Status: The batch may be in a status that does not allow it to be used for the operation you are trying to perform (e.g., it could be blocked, expired, or in a quality inspection status).
  Batch Determination Settings: The system may have specific settings that restrict the use of certain batches based on criteria such as plant, storage location, or product type.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to use the specified batch.
  Batch Management Configuration: There may be configuration settings in the system that restrict the use of certain batches for specific transactions or processes.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Batch Status: Verify the status of the batch in question. You can do this by navigating to the batch management transaction (e.g., using transaction code MSC3N to display the batch) and checking if it is blocked or has any restrictions.
  Review Batch Determination Rules: Check the batch determination settings in the system to ensure that the batch is eligible for the operation you are trying to perform. This may involve reviewing the configuration in the EWM settings.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access and use the batch. This may require coordination with your SAP security team.
  Consult Configuration: If the issue persists, consult with your SAP EWM configuration team to review the settings related to batch management and ensure that they are correctly set up to allow the use of the batch in question.
  Check for Expiry: If the batch has a shelf life, ensure that it has not expired or is not past its expiration date.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MSC3N (Display Batch), MB52 (List Warehouse Stocks on Hand), and LB01 (Create Transfer Order) to help diagnose the issue.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on batch management in EWM.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation on batch management and EWM processes to understand the implications of batch statuses and how they affect warehouse operations.
  
  If the problem persists after checking these areas, it may be beneficial to engage with SAP support or your internal SAP team for further investigation.
