  The SAP error message /SCWM/SHP_RCV448 indicates that the capacity limit of a Transportation Unit (TU) has been exceeded, and as a result, the status of the TU has been set to "Inconsistent." This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when the system detects that the total weight, volume, or other capacity-related metrics of the items assigned to a TU surpass the defined limits.
  Cause:
  
  Exceeding Capacity Limits: The most common cause is that the total weight or volume of the items loaded onto the TU exceeds the predefined capacity limits set in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The capacity limits for the TU may not be configured correctly in the system.
  Data Entry Errors: There may be errors in the data entry of the items being loaded onto the TU, such as incorrect weights or volumes.
  Changes in Item Characteristics: If the characteristics of the items (like weight or volume) have changed after they were added to the TU, it could lead to exceeding the capacity.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check TU Capacity Settings: Review the capacity settings for the Transportation Unit in the system. Ensure that the limits for weight, volume, and other relevant metrics are correctly defined.
  Review Loaded Items: Check the items that have been loaded onto the TU. Verify their weights and volumes to ensure they are accurate and do not exceed the TU's capacity.
  Adjust Item Quantities: If the total weight or volume exceeds the limit, consider adjusting the quantities of the items loaded onto the TU or redistributing them across multiple TUs.
  Correct Data Entry: If there are data entry errors, correct them in the system to reflect the accurate weights and volumes of the items.
  Reprocess the TU: After making the necessary adjustments, you may need to reprocess the TU to change its status from "Inconsistent" back to a valid status.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like /SCWM/TO for managing transfer orders or /SCWM/TU for managing transportation units.

  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for detailed information on configuring TUs and managing capacity limits.
  Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error.
