  The SAP error message /SCWM/UI_TO_CONF003 indicates that there is a conflict in the data being entered during the confirmation process in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system. Specifically, this error occurs when both a remaining quantity and a difference quantity are entered simultaneously, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  The error arises from the following scenarios:
  
  Simultaneous Entry: The user is trying to confirm a transfer order (TO) and has entered both a remaining quantity (the quantity that is still pending confirmation) and a difference quantity (the quantity that differs from what was expected).
  Data Validation: The system has validation rules that prevent both quantities from being entered at the same time to avoid inconsistencies in inventory management.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should follow these steps:
  
  
  Review Input Fields: Check the confirmation screen where you are entering the quantities. Ensure that you are only entering either a remaining quantity or a difference quantity, but not both.
  
  
  Clear One of the Fields: If you have mistakenly filled both fields, clear one of them based on your requirement:
  
  If you want to confirm the actual quantity received, enter the difference quantity and leave the remaining quantity blank.
  If you are confirming that there are still items pending, enter the remaining quantity and leave the difference quantity blank.
  
  
  
  Re-attempt Confirmation: After making the necessary adjustments, try to confirm the transfer order again.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP EWM documentation for more details on transfer order confirmations and the specific fields involved.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on the correct procedures for entering quantities during the confirmation process to prevent this error from occurring in the future.
  System Configuration: If this error persists or if there are specific business rules that require both quantities to be entered, consider consulting with your SAP EWM configuration team to review the settings and validation rules.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully complete the transfer order confirmation process.
