• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/WM_SEL070 - Stock type &1 is not defined ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/WM_SEL070 Stock type &1 is not defined typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when the system encounters a stock type that has not been defined in the system configuration. This can happen during various processes, such as stock transfers, inventory management, or when trying to perform operations on stock.
  Cause:
  
  Undefined Stock Type: The stock type referenced in the error message (represented by &1) is not defined in the system. This could be due to a configuration oversight or a missing entry in the stock type settings.
  Incorrect Configuration: The stock type may not have been set up correctly in the EWM configuration, or it may have been deleted or deactivated.
  Data Migration Issues: If data was migrated from another system or if there were changes in the stock type definitions, this could lead to inconsistencies.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Stock Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the EWM configuration settings and verify that the stock type in question is defined.
  Navigate to the relevant configuration path in SAP EWM (usually under Logistics Execution -> Extended Warehouse Management -> Warehouse Management -> Define Stock Types).
  Ensure that the stock type exists and is active.
  
  
  
  Create or Modify Stock Type:
  
  If the stock type does not exist, you may need to create it. Define the necessary attributes and settings for the stock type.
  If it exists but is inactive or incorrectly configured, make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Check for Data Consistency:
  
  If the error occurred after a data migration, check for any inconsistencies in the data. Ensure that all stock types referenced in the system are properly defined.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to stock types in EWM for any specific requirements or additional configuration steps that may be necessary.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, perform tests to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the stock type functions as expected in the relevant processes.
