• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/SSCC007 - SSCC &1 does not have &3 characters, it has &2 characters ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/SSCC007 typically relates to issues with Serial Shipping Container Codes (SSCC) in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error indicates that the SSCC you are trying to use does not meet the expected character length requirements.
  Cause:
  The error message /SCWM/SSCC007 is triggered when:
  
  The SSCC you are trying to process has a different number of characters than what is expected.
  The expected length of the SSCC is defined in the system configuration, and the SSCC you are using does not conform to this length.
  
  For example, if the system expects an SSCC to be 18 characters long (which is the standard length for SSCCs), but the SSCC you provided is only 12 characters long, you will receive this error message.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check SSCC Length Configuration:
  
  Verify the configuration settings in your SAP EWM system to ensure that the expected length of SSCCs is correctly defined.
  You can check the settings in the Customizing (SPRO) under the EWM section, specifically in the area related to SSCC or packaging.
  
  
  
  Validate the SSCC:
  
  Ensure that the SSCC you are trying to use is valid and conforms to the expected length.
  If you are generating SSCCs, make sure that the generation logic produces SSCCs of the correct length.
  
  
  
  Correct the SSCC:
  
  If the SSCC is incorrect, you may need to correct it in your data entry or system process to ensure it meets the required character length.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for more information on SSCCs and their configuration in EWM.
