• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/RF_EN736 - Goods issue posted for handling unit ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/RF_EN736 Goods issue posted for handling unit typically occurs in the context of the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when there is an attempt to perform an operation on a handling unit (HU) that has already been processed for a goods issue. This error indicates that the system has detected that the handling unit in question has already been involved in a goods issue transaction, and therefore, cannot be processed again for the same operation.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Processing: The handling unit has already been posted for a goods issue, and the system does not allow the same HU to be processed again for another goods issue.
  Incorrect Workflow: The workflow or sequence of operations may not have been followed correctly, leading to attempts to reprocess an already completed transaction.
  System Configuration: There may be specific configurations or settings in the EWM system that restrict the reprocessing of handling units once a goods issue has been posted.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Transaction History: Review the transaction history for the handling unit to confirm that a goods issue has already been posted. This can be done through the EWM interface or relevant transaction codes.
  Avoid Duplicate Actions: Ensure that the operation you are trying to perform is not a duplicate. If the goods issue has already been processed, you may need to proceed with other operations or transactions.
  Correct Workflow: Follow the correct sequence of operations as defined in your warehouse processes. Ensure that you are not attempting to perform actions out of order.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP EWM documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for handling units and goods issues to ensure compliance with the established processes.
  Error Handling: If you believe this error is occurring in error (e.g., due to a system glitch), you may need to contact your SAP support team or system administrator for further investigation and resolution.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on handling units and goods issues.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in EWM, such as /SCWM/PRDI for processing inbound deliveries or /SCWM/PRDO for processing outbound deliveries.
  User Roles and Permissions: Ensure that the user role has the necessary permissions to perform the intended operations on handling units.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the error and understand the context in which it occurs. If the issue persists, further investigation may be required, potentially involving SAP support.
