• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/RF_EN609 - Quantity cannot be split ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/RF_EN609 Quantity cannot be split typically occurs in the context of warehouse management processes, particularly when dealing with handling units (HUs) or stock quantities in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error indicates that the system is unable to split the quantity of a handling unit or stock item as requested, which can happen for several reasons.
  Causes:
  
  
  Handling Unit Configuration: The handling unit may be configured in such a way that it does not allow splitting. This can be due to settings in the handling unit type or the way the stock is managed.
  
  
  Stock Type Restrictions: The stock type (e.g., unrestricted, blocked, quality inspection) may not allow for splitting. For example, if the stock is in a quality inspection status, it may not be possible to split it.
  
  
  Quantity Constraints: The requested split quantity may exceed the available quantity in the handling unit or stock.
  
  
  Document Status: The document (e.g., transfer order, delivery) associated with the handling unit may be in a status that does not allow for quantity splitting.
  
  
  Batch Management: If batch management is enabled, the batches may not allow for splitting due to batch-specific restrictions.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Handling Unit Configuration: Review the configuration of the handling unit type to ensure that it allows for splitting. You may need to adjust the settings in the Customizing (SPRO) for handling units.
  
  
  Verify Stock Type: Ensure that the stock type allows for splitting. If the stock is in a restricted status, consider moving it to an unrestricted status if appropriate.
  
  
  Adjust Quantity: Make sure that the quantity you are trying to split does not exceed the available quantity in the handling unit. If necessary, adjust the requested quantity.
  
  
  Review Document Status: Check the status of the associated document (e.g., transfer order) to ensure it is in a state that allows for quantity splitting. If the document is completed or closed, you may need to create a new document.
  
  
  Batch Management Settings: If batch management is in use, verify that the batches involved allow for splitting. You may need to create a new batch or adjust the existing batch settings.
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes or updates that may address this specific error message or provide additional guidance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SCWM/PRDI (for handling unit management) and /SCWM/TO (for transfer orders) to help troubleshoot the issue.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for Extended Warehouse Management for detailed information on handling units, stock management, and error handling.
