• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WB2B484 - TEW active. Automatic generation of delivery not possible ?

  The SAP error message WB2B484 indicates that there is an issue with the automatic generation of delivery for a sales order in the SAP system. The message "TEW active" refers to the fact that the system is trying to process a delivery but is encountering a problem due to the active status of the Transportation Execution Workbench (TEW).
  Causes:
  
  TEW Configuration: The Transportation Execution Workbench (TEW) may be configured in a way that it does not allow automatic delivery creation under certain conditions.
  Sales Order Status: The sales order may not be in a status that allows for delivery creation (e.g., it may be blocked or incomplete).
  Delivery Settings: There may be settings in the delivery configuration that prevent automatic delivery generation.
  Stock Availability: There may not be enough stock available to fulfill the delivery.
  Transportation Planning: If transportation planning is required and not completed, it may prevent the delivery from being generated.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Sales Order Status: Ensure that the sales order is in a status that allows for delivery creation. You can check the status in the sales order details.
  Review TEW Configuration: Check the configuration settings for the Transportation Execution Workbench to ensure that it is set up correctly for automatic delivery generation.
  Stock Availability Check: Verify that there is sufficient stock available for the items in the sales order. If stock is not available, you may need to procure or produce the items.
  Manual Delivery Creation: If automatic delivery generation is not possible, consider creating the delivery manually as a temporary workaround.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or functional team to understand the specific configuration and settings related to TEW and delivery generation.
