• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/GOODS_MOVEMENT069 - Item &1: consumption posting with partial quantity not allowed ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/GOODS_MOVEMENT069 indicates that there is an issue with a consumption posting for a specific item where a partial quantity is not allowed. This typically occurs in the context of warehouse management and inventory processes within SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM).
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when:
  
  Partial Consumption Not Allowed: The system is configured to disallow partial consumption postings for the specified item. This means that the entire quantity of the item must be consumed in a single transaction.
  Configuration Settings: The item may have specific settings in the material master or in the warehouse management configuration that restrict partial postings.
  Document Type Restrictions: The document type being used for the goods movement may not allow partial quantities.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Item Configuration:
  
  Review the material master data for the item in question. Look for settings related to consumption and ensure that partial consumption is allowed if that is the desired behavior.
  Navigate to the material master (transaction code MM03) and check the relevant views (e.g., Basic Data, Warehouse Management).
  
  
  
  Review Warehouse Management Settings:
  
  Check the configuration settings in the Warehouse Management module. You may need to consult with your SAP configuration team to see if there are settings that restrict partial postings for the item.
  Look into the settings for the movement types being used and see if they allow partial quantities.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Quantity:
  
  If partial consumption is not allowed and you need to proceed with the posting, ensure that you are posting the full quantity of the item instead of a partial quantity.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help notes related to the error message for additional insights or specific configuration steps that may be required.
  
  
  
  User Exits or BAdIs:
  
  If your business process requires partial consumption, consider implementing a user exit or BAdI (Business Add-In) to modify the behavior of the system to allow partial postings.
  
  
  
  Contact SAP Support:
  
  If the issue persists and you cannot find a resolution, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance. They may provide insights based on the specific configuration of your system.
