• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/VAS057 - No goods movements were posted. Canceling not possible ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/VAS057 No goods movements were posted. Canceling not possible typically occurs in the context of the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module, particularly when dealing with Value-Added Services (VAS). This error indicates that there are no goods movements associated with the VAS order that you are trying to cancel, which means that the system cannot process the cancellation.
  Causes:
  
  
  No Goods Movements: The primary cause of this error is that there are no goods movements recorded for the VAS order you are attempting to cancel. This could happen if the VAS order was created but not executed or if the goods movements were not posted correctly.
  
  
  Incorrect Order Status: The status of the VAS order may not allow for cancellation. For example, if the order is already completed or has been processed in a way that prevents further changes.
  
  
  System Configuration: There may be configuration settings in the EWM system that restrict the cancellation of VAS orders under certain conditions.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Goods Movements: Verify if any goods movements were actually posted for the VAS order. You can do this by checking the relevant documents in the system (e.g., using transaction codes like /SCWM/ORDR or /SCWM/VAS).
  
  
  Review Order Status: Ensure that the VAS order is in a status that allows for cancellation. If the order is completed or in a status that does not permit cancellation, you may need to take additional steps to change its status.
  
  
  Post Goods Movements: If the VAS order was created but no goods movements were posted, you may need to post the necessary goods movements first before attempting to cancel the order.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or help files related to VAS and EWM for any specific guidelines or restrictions regarding cancellations.
  
  
  Contact Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert who can provide more tailored assistance based on your specific system configuration and business processes.
  
  
  Related Information:
