• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/WMEBASICS041 - Only select one entry to move ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/WMEBASICS041: Only select one entry to move typically occurs in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when a user attempts to perform a movement operation (such as picking, transferring, or putting away) on multiple items or entries at once, but the system only allows for a single entry to be processed at that time.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the system is configured to restrict certain operations to a single item or entry. This can happen in scenarios where:
  
  The movement type or transaction being executed is designed to handle only one item at a time.
  The user has selected multiple items in the user interface, but the system expects only one item to be selected for the operation.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Select a Single Entry: Ensure that you only select one item or entry for the movement operation. Deselect any additional items that may have been selected inadvertently.
  
  
  Check Movement Type Configuration: If you believe that the operation should allow multiple entries, check the configuration of the movement type in the system. You may need to consult with your SAP EWM administrator or configuration team to see if adjustments can be made.
  
  
  Review User Permissions: Ensure that your user role has the necessary permissions to perform the intended operation. Sometimes, restrictions can be due to user roles and authorizations.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP EWM documentation or help files for specific guidance on the operation you are trying to perform. This can provide insights into any limitations or requirements.
  
  
  Contact Support: If the issue persists and you are unable to determine the cause, consider reaching out to your SAP support team for further assistance. They may be able to provide additional insights or troubleshooting steps.
  
  
  Related Information:
