  Review Material Master Data: Ensure that the weight data in the material master is accurate:
  
  Check the weight and volume data for the materials being packed to ensure they are correctly maintained.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific configuration settings related to weight limits in EWM.
