• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/SHP_RCV603 - Activity period of TU and VEH does not overlap - no assignment possible ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/SHP_RCV603 Activity period of TU and VEH does not overlap - no assignment possible typically occurs in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when there is an attempt to assign a Transportation Unit (TU) to a Vehicle (VEH) but the activity periods of the two do not overlap. This means that the time frames during which the TU is available and the VEH is available do not match, preventing the assignment.
  Cause:
  
  Mismatched Time Frames: The most common cause is that the time period during which the Transportation Unit is scheduled to be active does not coincide with the time period during which the Vehicle is available.
  Incorrect Data Entry: There may be incorrect or incomplete data entered for either the TU or the VEH, leading to discrepancies in their activity periods.
  System Configuration: There may be configuration issues in the EWM system that affect how activity periods are defined or interpreted.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Activity Periods: Review the activity periods for both the Transportation Unit and the Vehicle. Ensure that the start and end times for both overlap. You can do this by:
  
  Navigating to the relevant TU and VEH in the SAP EWM system.
  Checking the planned start and end times for both.
  
  
  
  Adjust Time Frames: If the periods do not overlap, adjust the time frames for either the TU or the VEH so that they do. This may involve:
  
  Rescheduling the TU or VEH.
  Modifying the planned times in the system.
  
  
  
  Data Validation: Ensure that all relevant data is correctly entered and complete. This includes checking for any missing or incorrect entries that could affect the activity periods.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If the issue persists, consult the SAP documentation or help resources for further guidance on the specific configuration settings that may affect activity periods.
  
  
  System Configuration Review: If you suspect a configuration issue, work with your SAP Basis or EWM configuration team to review the settings related to Transportation Units and Vehicles.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like /SCWM/TU to view and manage Transportation Units and /SCWM/VEH for Vehicles.

  User Roles and Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to view and modify the relevant data in the EWM system.
