/SCWM/SERIAL057 - Details

• The SAP error message /SCWM/SERIAL057 indicates that there is an issue with the serial number range defined for a product in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. Specifically, the error states that "The last digit of the upper and lower limit is not in the same position." This typically occurs when the serial number range is not correctly configured, leading to inconsistencies in the serial number format.
  
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Serial Number Format: The serial number range defined for the product has upper and lower limits that do not align in terms of their digit positions. For example, if the lower limit is 000001 and the upper limit is 000010, the last digit of the upper limit should be in the same position as the last digit of the lower limit.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for serial number management may not have been set up correctly, leading to this mismatch.
