• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/WM_SEL057 - Only select one entry to move ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/WM_SEL057: Only select one entry to move typically occurs in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when a user attempts to perform a move operation (such as moving stock or transferring items) but has selected multiple entries instead of just one. This error is a safeguard to ensure that the system processes only one item at a time for certain operations.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the user has selected multiple items or entries in the user interface when the system expects only a single entry to be selected for the move operation. This can happen in various scenarios, such as:
  
  Trying to move multiple stock items in a single action when the system is configured to allow only single-item moves.
  Selecting multiple rows in a list or table view where only one selection is permitted.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Review Your Selection: Ensure that you have selected only one entry in the list or table where you are trying to perform the move operation.
  
  
  Deselect Other Entries: If you have inadvertently selected multiple entries, deselect them so that only one remains selected.
  
  
  Re-attempt the Move: After ensuring that only one entry is selected, try to perform the move operation again.
  
  
  Check Configuration: If you believe that the system should allow multiple selections for the operation you are trying to perform, check the configuration settings in SAP EWM. Consult with your SAP administrator or functional consultant to see if any settings need to be adjusted.
  
  
  User Training: If this error occurs frequently, consider providing additional training to users on how to properly select entries in the system.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP EWM that pertain to stock movements, such as /SCWM/TO_CREATE for creating transfer orders.
