• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/SHP_RCV513 - Document &1/&2 removed; invoice was already requested ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/SHP_RCV513 Document &1/&2 removed; invoice was already requested typically occurs in the context of the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error indicates that a specific document (like a delivery or shipment) has been removed from processing because an invoice for that document has already been requested. 
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Invoice Request: The primary cause of this error is that an invoice request has already been generated for the specified document. SAP prevents the same document from being processed multiple times to avoid duplicate invoices.
  Document Status: The document may have already reached a status where it is no longer eligible for further processing, such as being completed or closed.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the EWM or the integration with the ERP system that are causing this behavior.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Document Status: Verify the status of the document in question (e.g., delivery or shipment). If an invoice has already been created, you may need to check the invoice document for any discrepancies or issues.
  Review Invoice Requests: Look into the invoice requests that have been generated for the document. If an invoice has already been requested, you may need to proceed with that invoice rather than trying to create a new one.
  Consult Logs: Check the application logs or transaction logs for more detailed information about the error. This can provide insights into what actions were taken before the error occurred.
  Configuration Review: If this error occurs frequently, review the configuration settings related to invoice processing in both EWM and the connected ERP system. Ensure that the settings align with your business processes.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on the correct procedures for handling invoices and document processing to minimize the chances of duplicate requests.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may want to use transaction codes like SLG1 to check application logs or VL03N to view delivery documents.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal for documentation on EWM and invoice processing to understand the expected behavior and best practices.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a technical consultant who can provide more in-depth analysis and assistance.
