  The SAP error message /SCWM/UI_PACKING168 indicates that after a repacking operation, the serial numbers (SNs) are only partially assigned to the target stock. This can occur in the context of warehouse management and handling units in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM).
  Cause:
  
  
  Partial Assignment of Serial Numbers: The error typically arises when the system attempts to assign serial numbers to a target stock but cannot fully complete the assignment due to various reasons, such as:
  
  The quantity of serial numbers does not match the quantity of the target stock.
  Some serial numbers may be blocked or not available for assignment.
  The target stock may have restrictions or conditions that prevent the full assignment of serial numbers.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the EWM system that affect how serial numbers are managed during repacking.
  
  
  Data Integrity Issues: There could be inconsistencies in the data related to the serial numbers or the stock, such as missing or incorrect entries.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Serial Number Assignment: Review the serial numbers that are being assigned to ensure that they match the quantity and that they are valid for the target stock. Ensure that all serial numbers are available and not blocked.
  
  
  Review Repacking Process: Ensure that the repacking process is being executed correctly. Verify that the source stock and target stock are properly defined and that the quantities match.
  
  
  Adjust Configuration: If necessary, review the configuration settings related to serial number management in EWM. This may involve checking the settings for handling units, serial number profiles, and stock types.
  
  
  Data Consistency Check: Perform a data consistency check to identify any discrepancies in the serial number data or stock data. This may involve running reports or using transaction codes to analyze the data.
  
  
  Manual Assignment: If the system cannot automatically assign the serial numbers, consider manually assigning the remaining serial numbers to the target stock.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to this specific error message for additional insights or updates that may address the issue.
