• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/UI130 - TU &1 cannot be deactivated (current state: &2) ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/UI130 TU &1 cannot be deactivated (current state: &2) typically occurs in the context of the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error indicates that a Transport Unit (TU) cannot be deactivated because it is in a state that does not allow for deactivation.
  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when you attempt to deactivate a Transport Unit (TU) that is currently in a state that prohibits deactivation. Common states that might prevent deactivation include:
  
  The TU is currently being processed (e.g., it is in a picking, packing, or shipping process).
  The TU is in a state that requires it to remain active for further operations (e.g., it is still linked to an open delivery or is part of an active warehouse task).
  There may be system settings or configurations that restrict the deactivation of TUs in certain states.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Current State of the TU: Review the status of the Transport Unit (TU) using transaction codes like /SCWM/TO or /SCWM/TU. Identify the current state of the TU and determine why it cannot be deactivated.
  
  
  Complete or Cancel Ongoing Processes: If the TU is involved in an ongoing process (like picking or packing), you may need to complete or cancel that process before attempting to deactivate the TU.
  
  
  Review Related Documents: Check if the TU is linked to any open deliveries or warehouse tasks. If it is, you may need to resolve those links before deactivation.
  
  
  Consult Configuration Settings: If you have access to system configuration, review the settings related to TU management to ensure that there are no restrictions preventing deactivation.
  
  
  Use the Correct Transaction: Ensure you are using the correct transaction or method to deactivate the TU. Sometimes, specific transactions are required for certain operations.
  
  
  Check for System Updates or Notes: Occasionally, SAP releases notes or updates that address specific issues. Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant notes that might pertain to this error.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance. Provide them with the error message details and the context in which it occurred.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in EWM, such as /SCWM/TO for managing transfer orders and /SCWM/TU for managing transport units.
  Documentation: Review SAP EWM documentation for more information on Transport Units and their lifecycle.
  User Roles and Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to perform actions on TUs, as restrictions may be in place based on user roles.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and take appropriate action to resolve it.
