• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/WMEBASICS031 - Warning message limit must be smaller than the error message limit ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/WMEBASICS031 indicates that there is a configuration issue related to the warning and error message limits in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. Specifically, this warning message states that the limit set for warning messages must be smaller than the limit set for error messages.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises when the configuration settings for message limits in the EWM system are incorrectly set. The system requires that the threshold for warning messages (which are less severe) must be lower than that for error messages (which indicate a more serious issue). If both limits are set to the same value or if the warning limit is set higher than the error limit, the system will trigger this warning.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you need to adjust the configuration settings for the message limits in the EWM system. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Configuration Settings:
  
  Go to the SAP Easy Access screen.
  Navigate to the EWM configuration area. This can typically be found under Logistics Execution -> Extended Warehouse Management -> Settings -> General Settings.
  
  
  
  Locate Message Control Settings:
  
  Look for the section related to message control or message limits. This may vary based on your specific SAP version and configuration.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Limits:
  
  Find the settings for warning and error message limits.
  Ensure that the warning message limit is set to a value that is smaller than the error message limit. For example, if the error limit is set to 10, the warning limit should be set to a value less than 10 (e.g., 5).
  
  
  
  Save the Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes to the configuration.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  Perform a test transaction or process that previously triggered the warning to ensure that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal or the specific EWM documentation for detailed information on message control and configuration settings.
  Support: If you continue to experience issues or if you are unsure about making these changes, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP EWM expert.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes that may help in navigating the configuration settings, such as SPRO for accessing the configuration menu.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the warning message and ensure that your EWM system operates correctly without further issues related to message limits.
