  The SAP error message /SCWM/SHP_RCV743 indicates that an invoice request cannot be processed because the goods issue for the corresponding transportation unit (TU) has not yet been completed. This error typically occurs in the context of the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when dealing with inbound or outbound deliveries and their associated invoicing processes.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the system is trying to create an invoice for a transportation unit that has not yet had its goods issue posted. In SAP EWM, the goods issue must be completed before an invoice can be generated, as the invoice is based on the actual goods movement.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Goods Issue Status: Verify if the goods issue for the transportation unit (TU) has been completed. You can do this by checking the relevant documents in the EWM system.
  
  
  Post Goods Issue: If the goods issue has not been posted, you need to complete this step. This can typically be done through the EWM interface by navigating to the relevant delivery or transportation unit and executing the goods issue process.
  
  
  Re-attempt Invoice Creation: Once the goods issue has been successfully posted, you can attempt to create the invoice again. The system should now allow the invoice request to be processed without errors.
  
  
  Check for Other Issues: If the goods issue has been posted and you still encounter the error, check for any other related issues, such as:
  
  Incomplete or incorrect data in the delivery or transportation unit.
  Configuration settings in the EWM or the integration with the ERP system.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP EWM, such as /SCWM/PRDI for posting goods issues or /SCWM/PRDI for monitoring transportation units.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help files related to EWM and invoicing processes for more detailed guidance on handling goods issues and invoicing.
  Support: If the issue persists after following the above steps, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting the SAP community for further assistance.
  
  By ensuring that the goods issue is completed before attempting to create an invoice, you should be able to resolve the error message /SCWM/SHP_RCV743.
