• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/SSCC056 - The combination of number range object and ILN with &1 chars is too short ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/SSCC056 indicates that there is an issue with the combination of the number range object and the International Location Number (ILN) being too short. This error typically arises in the context of handling Serial Shipping Container Codes (SSCC) in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module.
  Cause:
  
  Number Range Configuration: The number range object associated with the SSCC may not be configured correctly. The length of the ILN or the SSCC being generated does not meet the required length defined in the number range configuration.
  ILN Length: The ILN being used may not meet the minimum character length required by the system. The ILN is expected to have a specific length (usually 13 characters for a standard ILN).
  Data Entry Error: There may be a data entry error where the ILN or SSCC is being entered with fewer characters than required.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Find the relevant number range object for SSCC and check its configuration.
  Ensure that the number range is set up correctly and that the length of the SSCC is appropriate.
  
  
  
  Verify ILN Length:
  
  Ensure that the ILN being used is of the correct length. If it is less than the required length, you may need to correct it.
  The standard length for an ILN is typically 13 characters, so ensure that the ILN you are using meets this requirement.
  
  
  
  Adjust Settings in EWM:
  
  Navigate to the EWM settings and check the configuration for SSCC and ILN.
  Ensure that the settings align with the requirements of your business processes.
  
  
  
  Data Validation:
  
  Implement validation checks in your data entry processes to ensure that ILNs and SSCCs are entered with the correct length.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to SSCC and ILN configuration for additional guidance.
