• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WSAM_SHMAE032 - Enter quantity first ?

  The SAP error message WSAM_SHMAE032: "Enter quantity first" typically occurs in the context of SAP Warehouse Management (WM) or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) processes, especially during goods movements, picking, or posting activities where quantities are involved.
  
  Cause:
  
  The system expects a quantity to be entered before proceeding with the transaction.
  This error usually appears when a user tries to confirm or post a warehouse movement without specifying the quantity of the material to be moved or processed.
  It can happen in transactions or screens where the quantity field is mandatory but left blank or zero.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Enter the Quantity:
  
  Ensure that the quantity field is filled with a valid number before confirming or posting the document.
  Check the input screen and provide the quantity of the material to be moved, picked, or posted.
  
  
  
  Check User Input:
  
  Verify that the quantity entered is not zero or blank.
  If the quantity is derived from another process or scanned data, ensure that the data is correctly captured.
  
  
  
  Screen or Customizing Issues:
  
  If the quantity field is not visible or editable, check the screen layout or user-specific settings.
  In case of custom developments or enhancements, verify that the quantity field is correctly handled.
  
  
  
  Technical Checks:
  
  If the error persists despite entering quantity, check for any user-exits, BAdIs, or validations that might be incorrectly implemented and causing the system to reject the input.
  Debug the process to see why the system thinks the quantity is missing.
