• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/WAVE164 - Delivery item &1 &2 is blocked for execution ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/WAVE164 Delivery item &1 &2 is blocked for execution typically occurs in the context of the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when there is an issue with a delivery item that prevents it from being processed in a wave. This error can arise due to various reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for finding a solution.
  Causes:
  
  
  Blocked Delivery Item: The delivery item may be blocked for various reasons, such as:
  
  The item is in a status that does not allow it to be processed (e.g., blocked for picking, quality inspection, etc.).
  The item is associated with a delivery that has been flagged for some reason (e.g., credit block, delivery block).
  
  
  
  Warehouse Management Settings: There may be specific settings in the warehouse management configuration that prevent the execution of certain delivery items.
  
  
  Stock Issues: Insufficient stock or stock discrepancies can also lead to this error, as the system may block the item from being processed if it cannot be fulfilled.
  
  
  Custom Logic or User Exits: Custom logic or user exits implemented in the system may also lead to blocking certain items based on specific business rules.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Delivery Item Status: Review the status of the delivery item in question. You can do this by navigating to the delivery document in the SAP system and checking for any blocks or issues.
  
  
  Review Warehouse Management Settings: Ensure that the warehouse management settings allow for the processing of the delivery item. This may involve checking the configuration for wave management and delivery processing.
  
  
  Stock Availability: Verify that there is sufficient stock available for the delivery item. If stock is insufficient, you may need to replenish stock or adjust the delivery accordingly.
  
  
  Remove Blocks: If the delivery item is blocked due to a specific reason (e.g., credit block), work with the relevant departments (e.g., finance) to resolve the block.
  
  
  Consult Custom Logic: If there are custom developments in your SAP system, consult with your ABAP developers or SAP consultants to check if any custom logic is causing the block.
  
  
  Check for Errors in Previous Processes: Sometimes, errors in previous processes (like inbound deliveries or stock transfers) can lead to blocks. Ensure that all prior processes have been completed successfully.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like /SCWM/WAVE to manage waves and /SCWM/PRDI to check the delivery items.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP EWM documentation for more details on wave management and delivery processing.
  
  If the issue persists after checking the above points, it may be beneficial to engage with SAP support or your internal SAP team for further investigation.
