• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/UI_PACKING091 - Serial number is not assigned ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/UI_PACKING091 indicating "Serial number is not assigned" typically occurs in the context of warehouse management and packing processes within the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error suggests that the system expects a serial number to be assigned to a product or item, but it has not been provided.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Serial Number Assignment: The item being processed requires a serial number, but it has not been assigned during the goods receipt, production, or packing process.
  Configuration Issues: The material master may be configured to require serial numbers, but the serial number management settings may not be properly set up.
  Incorrect Process Flow: The process being followed may not align with the requirements for serial number assignment, such as trying to pack an item that should have a serial number without assigning one first.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Assign Serial Number: 
  
  Ensure that a serial number is assigned to the item before attempting to pack it. This can typically be done during the goods receipt or production process.
  If you are packing items, check if the serial number assignment is part of the packing process and ensure it is completed.
  
  
  
  Check Material Master Settings:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) and check the serial number management settings. Ensure that the material is set up to require serial numbers if that is the intended configuration.
  Verify that the serial number profile is correctly assigned to the material.
  
  
  
  Review Process Flow:
  
  Ensure that the process you are following aligns with the requirements for serial number assignment. If necessary, adjust the process to include the assignment of serial numbers at the appropriate stage.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
  
  Use transaction codes like IQ01 to create a serial number or IQ02 to change an existing serial number if needed.

  Review SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on serial number management in EWM.
