• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/SSCC020 - ILN basis number cannot only contain zeros ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/SSCC020 ILN basis number cannot only contain zeros typically occurs in the context of the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when dealing with International Location Numbers (ILNs) or Serial Shipping Container Codes (SSCCs). This error indicates that the ILN or SSCC being processed is invalid because it consists solely of zeros, which is not acceptable.
  Cause:
  
  Invalid ILN/SSCC: The ILN or SSCC being entered or processed is made up entirely of zeros. This is not a valid format for these identifiers, as they are expected to represent unique locations or shipping containers.
  Data Entry Error: There may have been a mistake during data entry, where the user inadvertently entered a string of zeros instead of a valid ILN or SSCC.
  System Configuration: In some cases, the system may be configured incorrectly, leading to the generation of invalid ILNs or SSCCs.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Input Values: Verify the ILN or SSCC being used. Ensure that it is a valid identifier and does not consist solely of zeros. Replace it with a correct value.
  Data Validation: Implement data validation checks in the system to prevent users from entering invalid ILNs or SSCCs. This can include checks to ensure that the input is not all zeros.
  Review Configuration: If the issue persists, review the system configuration related to ILNs and SSCCs to ensure that it is set up correctly and that there are no default values that could lead to this error.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for further guidance on valid formats for ILNs and SSCCs.
