How To Fix VW365 - Sort criteria "Weight, descending" will be created (see long text)

VW365 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: VW - Shipment Processing Output

• Message number: 365

• Message text: Sort criteria "Weight, descending" will be created (see long text)

You specified a maximum weight as a capacity criterion.
In order to ensure that this criterion is met, all deliveries should be
sorted in descending order according to weight. This criterion is added
as the last sort criterion. This means that the sequence of the
deliveries, which you have already defined with different criteria,
remains unchanged (for example, sorting according to ship-to party).
When the system processes the capacity criteria, it considers the
deliveries of a shipment (according to their sequence). Each time a
delivery exceeds the maximum weight of the shipment, the system omits
this delivery and selects the next one.
In this way, the system can fill the shipments satisfactorily but not
optimally!

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VW365 - Sort criteria "Weight, descending" will be created (see long text) ?

  The SAP error message VW365 indicates that the sort criteria "Weight, descending" will be created for a specific operation, typically in the context of sales and distribution (SD) or logistics. This message is not necessarily an error but rather a notification that the system is applying a default sorting criterion based on weight in descending order.
  
  Cause:
  The message is triggered when the system determines that it needs to sort items based on their weight in descending order. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when creating delivery documents, sales orders, or during the picking process. The system may default to this sorting method if no other sorting criteria are specified or if the existing criteria do not meet the requirements.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Sorting Criteria: Check the sorting criteria set in the relevant transaction or configuration. If you want to use a different sorting method, you can adjust the settings accordingly.
