• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SPE/ASN_CANC001 - Delivery &1 is distributed to EWM and cannot be cancelled ?

  The SAP error message /SPE/ASN_CANC001 Delivery &1 is distributed to EWM and cannot be cancelled typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when you attempt to cancel a delivery that has already been distributed to EWM. This error indicates that the system has recognized that the delivery is in a state that does not allow for cancellation due to its integration with EWM.
  Cause:
  
  Delivery Status: The delivery has already been processed or is in a state that prevents cancellation (e.g., it has been picked, packed, or shipped).
  EWM Integration: The delivery has been sent to EWM, and EWM has taken control of the delivery process. Once a delivery is distributed to EWM, certain actions in the ERP system (like cancellation) may be restricted.
  Document Flow: There may be subsequent documents or processes that depend on the delivery, making it impossible to cancel.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Delivery Status: Review the status of the delivery in both the ERP and EWM systems. Ensure that it is not in a state that would prevent cancellation.
  Reverse Processes: If the delivery has been picked or packed, you may need to reverse those processes in EWM before attempting to cancel the delivery in the ERP system.
  Use EWM Transactions: If the delivery is managed in EWM, you may need to use EWM-specific transactions to handle the cancellation or reversal of the delivery.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for handling deliveries in EWM, as there may be specific procedures to follow.
  Contact Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with SAP support for further assistance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  EWM Configuration: Ensure that your EWM configuration is set up correctly to handle deliveries and cancellations.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in both SAP ERP and EWM that may assist in managing deliveries (e.g., VL02N for delivery processing, /SCWM/PRDI for EWM).
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message, as they may provide additional insights or patches that could resolve the issue.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the error and understand the implications of cancelling a delivery that has been distributed to EWM.
