  The SAP error message /SCWM/TDC184 is related to the Warehouse Management (WM) module in SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM), specifically in the context of resource management and velocity calculations. This error typically indicates that there is an issue with the velocity of a resource in the z-direction (vertical movement) within the warehouse.
  Cause:
  The error message /SCWM/TDC184 usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Resource Configuration: The resource type (e.g., forklift, conveyor) may not be configured correctly for vertical movement. This could be due to incorrect settings in the resource master data.
  
  
  Velocity Settings: The velocity settings for the resource type in the z-direction may be set to an invalid value (e.g., zero or negative), which is not acceptable for operational purposes.
  
  
  Warehouse Layout: The layout of the warehouse may not support the expected vertical movement, leading to discrepancies in the velocity calculations.
  
  
  System Parameters: There may be system parameters or settings that are not aligned with the operational requirements for vertical movement.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:

  Make any necessary adjustments to the layout or resource paths.
  
  
  
  Update System Parameters:
  
  Check the system parameters related to resource management and velocity calculations.
  Update any parameters that may be causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the resource movement in the z-direction to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
