  The SAP error message /SCWM/SHP_RCV137 indicates that there is an issue with the Post Processing Framework (PPF) action related to the conversion of planned documents to final documents in the Supply Chain Management (SCM) module, specifically in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) context.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when the system is unable to find any documents that meet the criteria for the PPF action that is trying to convert planned documents (like planned inbound deliveries or planned shipments) into final documents (like actual inbound deliveries or actual shipments). The reasons for this could include:
  
  No Planned Documents Exist: There may not be any planned documents available for conversion at the time the PPF action is triggered.
  Incorrect PPF Configuration: The PPF action may not be correctly configured to identify the planned documents.
  Status Issues: The planned documents may not be in the correct status to allow for conversion.
  Selection Criteria: The selection criteria defined in the PPF action may not match any existing planned documents.
  Timing Issues: The PPF action may be triggered at a time when planned documents are not yet available for processing.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check for Planned Documents: Verify if there are any planned documents available for conversion. You can do this by checking the relevant transaction codes in EWM or using the appropriate reports.
  
  
  Review PPF Configuration: Ensure that the PPF action is correctly configured. Check the following:
  
  The action definition in the PPF configuration.
  The conditions and selection criteria for the action.
  Ensure that the action is active and properly linked to the relevant document types.
  
  
  
  Document Status: Check the status of the planned documents. Ensure that they are in a status that allows for conversion to final documents.
  
  
  Test PPF Action: Manually trigger the PPF action to see if it processes any documents. This can help identify if the issue is with the automatic triggering of the action.
  
  
  Logs and Traces: Check the application logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context about the issue.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific PPF action and its configuration.
