Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/UI_POST026 - You can transfer post a maximum of &1 serial numbers ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/UI_POST026 indicates that you are trying to post more serial numbers than the system allows in a single transaction. The message specifies that you can only transfer a maximum of &1 serial numbers at a time.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when:
  
  You are attempting to post a transfer or a goods movement that exceeds the allowed limit of serial numbers.
  The system is configured with a limit on the number of serial numbers that can be processed in one transaction for performance or data integrity reasons.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration settings in your SAP EWM system to determine the maximum number of serial numbers allowed per transaction. This can usually be found in the customizing settings under the relevant EWM configuration.
  
  
  
  Split the Transaction:
  
  If you need to transfer more serial numbers than the allowed limit, consider splitting the transaction into multiple smaller transactions. For example, if the limit is 10 serial numbers, and you have 25 to transfer, you would need to perform three separate transactions (10 + 10 + 5).
  
  
  
  Adjust the Limit (if necessary):
  
  If your business process requires a higher limit, you may need to adjust the configuration to allow for more serial numbers per transaction. This should be done with caution and in consultation with your SAP Basis or EWM configuration team to ensure it does not negatively impact system performance.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to the SAP Help Portal or your organization's internal documentation for specific guidelines on handling serial numbers in EWM.
  
  
  
  Contact SAP Support:

  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in EWM that deal with serial number management, such as /SCWM/PRDI for posting goods receipts or /SCWM/GR for goods receipt processing.
  User Exits and BAdIs: Check if there are any user exits or Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) that might be influencing the serial number handling in your system.
  Performance Considerations: Be aware that increasing the limit may have implications for system performance, especially in high-volume environments.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the error message and successfully process your serial numbers in SAP EWM.
