• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/RSRC068 - Create a new entry possible only in the customizing ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/RSRC068 typically indicates that you are trying to create a new entry in a specific area of the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system, but the system is configured to allow new entries only through the customizing settings. This is a common restriction in SAP to ensure that certain configurations are managed centrally and not altered directly by users.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  You attempt to create a new resource (like a storage type, storage bin, etc.) directly in the application without going through the customizing settings.
  The system is set up to restrict direct entries to maintain data integrity and consistency.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to follow these steps:
  
  
  Access Customizing:
  
  Go to the SAP Easy Access screen.
  Navigate to the customizing area for EWM. This is usually found under SPRO (SAP Project Reference Object) > SAP Reference IMG.
  
  
  
  Locate the Relevant Configuration:
  
  Depending on what you are trying to create (e.g., resources, storage types, etc.), find the relevant section in the customizing menu.
  For example, if you are trying to create a new resource, navigate to Logistics Execution > Extended Warehouse Management > Resources > Define Resources.
  
  
  
  Create the New Entry:
  
  Use the customizing interface to create the new entry. Fill in all required fields and save your changes.
  Ensure that you follow any specific guidelines or requirements for the entry you are creating.
  
  
  
  Transport Changes (if necessary):
  
  If you are working in a development environment, remember to transport your changes to the quality or production environment as needed.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes in the customizing settings. If not, you may need to contact your SAP administrator.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal for detailed documentation on EWM and customizing settings.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes like SPRO for customizing and SE11 for data dictionary objects if you need to check underlying tables.
  Support: If you continue to face issues, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP support team for further assistance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the /SCWM/RSRC068 error and successfully create the necessary entries in the SAP EWM system.
