• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/WM01240 - Serial number &1 is available only once in the warehouse ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/WM01240 Serial number &1 is available only once in the warehouse typically occurs in the context of warehouse management when dealing with serial numbers. This error indicates that the system has detected an attempt to process a serial number that is already assigned to another item or location in the warehouse, and it is not allowed to be used more than once.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Serial Number: The serial number you are trying to use is already assigned to another item in the warehouse.
  Incorrect Configuration: The system may be configured to enforce unique serial number assignments, which can lead to this error if the same serial number is attempted to be used multiple times.
  Data Entry Error: There may be a mistake in data entry, where the same serial number is inadvertently entered for different items or transactions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Serial Number Assignment:
  
  Verify the current status of the serial number in the system. You can do this by checking the serial number in the inventory management or warehouse management module to see where it is currently assigned.
  Use transaction codes like IQ03 (Display Serial Number) to check the details of the serial number.
  
  
  
  Use a Unique Serial Number:
  
  If the serial number is indeed already in use, you will need to use a different, unique serial number for your transaction.
  
  
  
  Correct Data Entry:
  
  If the error is due to a data entry mistake, correct the entry to ensure that the serial number is not duplicated.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  If you believe the configuration might be causing issues, consult with your SAP administrator or a functional consultant to review the settings related to serial number management in your warehouse.
