• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/SSCC009 - Maintain the external number range interval ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/SSCC009 indicates that there is an issue with the external number range interval for Serial Numbers or SSCC (Shipping Container Codes) in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error typically arises when the system cannot find a valid number range for generating SSCCs or serial numbers.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Number Range Interval: The external number range for SSCCs has not been defined or is not active in the system.
  Number Range Configuration: The number range might be configured incorrectly, or the intervals may not cover the required range.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access or maintain the number range intervals.
  System Settings: The system settings may not be properly configured to allow for the generation of SSCCs.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Look for the number range object related to SSCCs (usually /SCWM/SSCC).
  Ensure that there is an external number range defined and that it is active.
  
  
  
  Maintain Number Range Intervals:
  
  In the same transaction (SNRO), select the number range object and check the intervals.
  If no intervals exist, create a new interval by specifying the start and end numbers, and ensure that the interval is valid and not overlapping with other intervals.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to maintain number ranges. This can be checked in transaction SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
  
  
  
  Review System Settings:
  
  Ensure that the system is configured correctly for EWM and that all necessary settings for SSCC generation are in place.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the functionality to ensure that SSCCs can be generated without errors.
