• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/RF_EN221 - Confirmation correction only applicable to last item ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/RF_EN221 Confirmation correction only applicable to last item typically occurs in the context of the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system when trying to perform a confirmation correction for a warehouse task or handling unit. This error indicates that the system only allows confirmation corrections for the last item in a sequence of items being processed.
  Cause:
  
  Confirmation Process: In SAP EWM, when you confirm items in a warehouse task, the system expects that corrections can only be made to the last item confirmed. This is a design choice to maintain data integrity and ensure that the sequence of confirmations is preserved.
  Multiple Items: If you are trying to correct the confirmation for an item that is not the last one in the sequence, the system will throw this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Confirm the Last Item: Ensure that you are only trying to correct the confirmation for the last item in the sequence. If you need to make corrections for earlier items, you may need to re-confirm the last item first.
  Reprocess the Task: If you need to correct multiple items, consider reprocessing the entire task or handling unit. This may involve reversing the confirmation for the last item and then re-confirming all items in the correct order.
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings in your EWM system to ensure that they align with your business processes. If necessary, consult with your SAP EWM consultant to adjust settings that may be causing confusion in the confirmation process.
