• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/SHP_RCV608 - TU from external transportation planning must not be deleted ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/SHP_RCV608 indicates that a Transportation Unit (TU) from external transportation planning cannot be deleted. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when there are dependencies or references to the TU that prevent its deletion.
  Cause:
  
  Active Processes: The TU may be involved in active processes such as inbound deliveries, stock movements, or other logistics activities.
  External Transportation Planning: The TU is linked to an external transportation planning system, and the system does not allow deletion of TUs that are still referenced in that planning.
  Status of the TU: The TU might be in a status that does not permit deletion (e.g., it is already confirmed, or it has been partially processed).
  Dependencies: There may be other documents or processes that depend on the TU, such as open deliveries or shipments.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Status: Verify the status of the TU. If it is in a status that does not allow deletion, you may need to change its status or complete the associated processes.
  Review Dependencies: Look for any dependent documents or processes that might be referencing the TU. Ensure that all related processes are completed or canceled before attempting to delete the TU.
  External System Check: If the TU is linked to an external transportation planning system, check that system for any locks or references to the TU. You may need to resolve issues in the external system before proceeding.
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize relevant transaction codes in SAP to analyze the TU and its dependencies. For example, you can use transaction codes like /SCWM/TO to check for open transfer orders or /SCWM/TU to view details about the TU.
