• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/VAS129 - Warehouse request items with quantity 0 are not allowed ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/VAS129 indicates that there are warehouse request items with a quantity of zero, which are not allowed in the context of Value-Added Services (VAS) in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error typically arises when trying to process a warehouse request that includes items that have a quantity of zero.
  Cause:
  
  Zero Quantity Items: The primary cause of this error is that the warehouse request includes items that have a quantity of zero. In EWM, items with a quantity of zero do not make sense in the context of warehouse operations, as they do not represent any physical inventory to be processed.
  Data Entry Errors: There may have been a mistake during data entry or during the creation of the warehouse request, leading to the inclusion of items with zero quantities.

  Solution:
  
  Review Warehouse Request: Check the warehouse request that triggered the error. Identify any items listed with a quantity of zero.
  Remove Zero Quantity Items: If you find items with a quantity of zero, remove them from the warehouse request. Only items with a positive quantity should be included.
  Correct Data Entry: If the zero quantity was entered by mistake, correct the data entry to ensure that only valid quantities are processed.
  Recreate Warehouse Request: If necessary, recreate the warehouse request without the zero quantity items.
  Check for System Issues: If this error occurs frequently, investigate whether there are any underlying system issues or configuration settings that need to be adjusted.
