• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/UI_PACKING117 - Serial numbers are assigned. Entering a partial quantity not possible ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/UI_PACKING117 indicates that serial numbers have been assigned to a specific quantity of items in the warehouse, and therefore, you cannot enter a partial quantity for packing. This typically occurs in the context of warehouse management and packing processes in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM).
  Cause:
  
  Assigned Serial Numbers: The error arises when you attempt to pack a quantity of items that has already been assigned specific serial numbers. In SAP EWM, each serial number corresponds to a unique item, and once serial numbers are assigned, you cannot pack a partial quantity of that item.
  Packing Configuration: The system is configured to require that all items with assigned serial numbers be packed in full quantities, which prevents partial packing.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can consider the following approaches:
  
  
  Pack Full Quantities: Ensure that you are packing the full quantity of items that have assigned serial numbers. If you have 10 items with serial numbers assigned, you must pack all 10 items at once.
  
  
  Check Serial Number Assignment: Review the serial number assignment for the items in question. If you need to pack a different quantity, you may need to unassign the serial numbers or reassign them to allow for the desired packing quantity.
  
  
  Adjust Packing Strategy: If your business process allows for it, consider adjusting the packing strategy in your SAP EWM configuration to permit partial packing of items with serial numbers. This may involve changes to the packing rules or settings in the system.
  
  
  Use Alternative Items: If you need to pack a different quantity, consider using alternative items that do not have serial numbers assigned, if applicable.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's SAP support team for specific guidance on handling serial numbers and packing processes in your system.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP EWM Documentation: Review the official SAP EWM documentation for detailed information on serial number management and packing processes.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP EWM that pertain to packing and serial number management, such as /SCWM/PRDI for packing and /SCWM/PRDI for serial number assignment.
  User Training: Ensure that users involved in the packing process are trained on the handling of serial numbers and the implications of packing quantities in SAP EWM.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the error and proceed with your packing operations in SAP EWM.
