• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SPE/VL109 - Goods movement for delivery &1 can only be posted from decentral EWM ?

  The SAP error message /SPE/VL109 Goods movement for delivery &1 can only be posted from decentral EWM typically occurs in the context of using SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) in a decentralized setup. This error indicates that the goods movement for a specific delivery cannot be processed in the SAP ERP system because it is expected to be handled by the decentralized EWM system.
  Cause:
  
  Decentralized EWM Configuration: The system is configured to use decentralized EWM, meaning that all warehouse-related processes, including goods movements for deliveries, should be executed in the EWM system rather than the ERP system.
  Delivery Document: The delivery document referenced in the error message is likely created in the ERP system, but the goods movement needs to be processed in the EWM system.
  Integration Issues: There may be issues with the integration between the ERP and EWM systems, leading to the inability to post the goods movement in the expected system.
  
  Solution:
  
  Process in EWM: Ensure that the goods movement for the delivery is processed in the decentralized EWM system. You may need to log into the EWM system and perform the necessary actions there.
  Check Configuration: Verify the configuration settings in both the ERP and EWM systems to ensure they are correctly set up for decentralized operations. This includes checking the integration settings and ensuring that the delivery is correctly linked to the EWM system.
  Monitor IDocs: If the delivery is supposed to be transferred to EWM via IDocs, check the status of the IDocs to ensure they are being processed correctly. Look for any errors or issues in the IDoc processing.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to decentralized EWM and goods movements for further guidance on the correct processes and configurations.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on the correct processes for handling deliveries and goods movements in a decentralized EWM environment.
