• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/SHP_RCV628 - Synchronization started at &1 &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/SHP_RCV628 typically indicates an issue related to synchronization in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system. The message "Synchronization started at &1 &2" suggests that a synchronization process has been initiated, but it may not have completed successfully or is encountering issues.
  Cause:
  
  Synchronization Issues: The error may arise due to problems in the synchronization process between the EWM and the connected systems (like SAP ERP or other external systems).
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the data being synchronized, such as missing or incorrect entries.
  System Performance: High system load or performance issues can lead to timeouts or failures in the synchronization process.
  Configuration Errors: Incorrect configuration settings in the EWM or related systems can also lead to synchronization problems.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Logs: Review the application logs and system logs for more detailed error messages that can provide insights into what went wrong during synchronization.
  Monitor Synchronization Status: Use transaction codes like /SCWM/PRD or /SCWM/ORD to monitor the status of the synchronization process and identify any stuck or failed processes.
  Data Consistency Check: Ensure that the data in both EWM and the connected systems is consistent. This may involve checking master data, transactional data, and any relevant configuration settings.
  Performance Tuning: If system performance is an issue, consider optimizing the system by checking for long-running processes, increasing system resources, or scheduling synchronization during off-peak hours.
  Reinitiate Synchronization: If the synchronization process has failed, you may need to manually reinitiate it. This can often be done through the EWM interface or relevant transaction codes.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific error message for additional troubleshooting steps or patches that may be required.
