• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SPE/VL015 - Delivery currently being processed in EWM system ?

  The SAP error message /SPE/VL015 Delivery currently being processed in EWM system typically occurs in the context of Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when there is an attempt to process a delivery that is already being handled by the EWM system. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when a delivery is being picked, packed, or otherwise processed, and another transaction tries to access or modify the same delivery.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Processing: The delivery is currently being processed by another user or transaction in the EWM system.
  Locking Mechanism: EWM uses a locking mechanism to prevent multiple processes from modifying the same delivery simultaneously. If one process has locked the delivery, others will receive this error until the lock is released.
  Long-running Transactions: If a transaction takes too long to complete, it may lead to this error for subsequent attempts to access the same delivery.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: If the delivery is being processed by another user, wait for that process to complete and then retry your action.
  Check Active Processes: Use transaction codes like /SCWM/PRDI or /SCWM/PRDI to check if there are any active processes related to the delivery. If you find any, you may need to wait for them to finish.
  Identify Locks: Use transaction code SM12 to check for locks on the delivery. If you find a lock that seems to be stuck or is no longer valid, you may need to contact your system administrator to release it.
  Review Logs: Check the application logs for any additional information that might indicate why the delivery is locked or being processed.
  System Performance: If this issue occurs frequently, consider reviewing system performance and transaction times to identify any bottlenecks that may be causing delays.
  
  Related Information:
  
  EWM Configuration: Ensure that your EWM configuration is set up correctly to handle deliveries efficiently.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on how to properly process deliveries to minimize the chances of concurrent processing issues.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  System Updates: Ensure that your SAP system is up to date with the latest patches and updates, as these may contain fixes for known issues.
  
  If the problem persists after trying the above solutions, it may be necessary to involve your SAP support team or consult with SAP directly for further assistance.
