    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    WRMA_FI154 Distribution chain &1/&2, plant &3: Set splitting type to 1 (Explode)


    Cause:

    This error occurs during the processing of a return delivery or a related logistics document in SAP, specifically in the context of Returnable Transport Packaging (RTP) or Returnable Handling Units (RHUs). The system expects the splitting type for the distribution chain to be set to 1 (Explode), but it is currently set to a different value.

    • The distribution chain (combination of shipping point and receiving point) controls how the returnable packaging is handled.
    • The splitting type determines how the system processes the returnable packaging during goods movements.
    • If the splitting type is not set to 1 (Explode), the system cannot correctly process the returnable packaging in the return delivery or related document, leading to this error.

    Explanation of Key Terms:

    • Distribution Chain: Combination of shipping point and receiving point used in logistics.
    • Splitting Type: Controls how the system splits or explodes the returnable packaging during processing.
      • 1 (Explode): The system explodes the packaging components to handle them individually.
      • Other values might mean no splitting or different handling logic.

    Solution:

    To resolve this error, you need to set the splitting type for the relevant distribution chain and plant to 1 (Explode).

    Steps:

    1. Go to the Customizing transaction:

      • Use transaction code SPRO.
      • Navigate to:
        Logistics Execution -> Packaging -> Returnable Transport Packaging -> Define Distribution Chain
    2. Find the relevant distribution chain:

      • Identify the distribution chain &1/&2 and plant &3 mentioned in the error message.
    3. Set the Splitting Type:

      • Change the splitting type to 1 (Explode) for the distribution chain and plant.
    4. Save the changes.

    5. Test the process again:

      • Retry the return delivery or the process that caused the error.

    Additional Information:

    • This setting is crucial for the correct handling of returnable packaging in logistics processes.
    • Incorrect splitting type settings can cause issues in goods movements, inventory management, and financial postings related to returnable packaging.
    • If you are unsure about the impact, consult with your SAP Logistics or Packaging consultant before making changes.
    • Sometimes, this error can also appear if the distribution chain is incomplete or incorrectly maintained.
