• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/OM307 - Whse proc. status &1 does not allow change to "Whse Proc. Not Started" ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/OM307 indicates that the warehouse process status for a specific operation does not permit a change to the status "Warehouse Process Not Started." This error typically arises in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) and Warehouse Management (WM) when there is an attempt to change the status of a warehouse process that is not in a state that allows such a change.
  Cause:
  
  Current Status: The warehouse process might be in a status that does not allow it to be set to "Warehouse Process Not Started." For example, if the process is already in progress or completed, the system will prevent changing it back to a not started status.
  Dependencies: There may be dependencies or linked processes that are preventing the status change. For instance, if there are open tasks or confirmations related to the warehouse process, the system will restrict the status change.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the system may restrict certain status changes based on business rules or workflows defined in the system.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Current Status: Review the current status of the warehouse process. If it is in a status like "In Progress" or "Completed," you will need to complete or reverse those processes before changing the status.
  Review Dependencies: Investigate any related tasks or confirmations that may be preventing the status change. Ensure that all dependent processes are either completed or canceled.
  Consult Configuration: If the issue persists, consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings related to warehouse process statuses. They may need to adjust the configuration to allow for the desired status change.
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize relevant transaction codes (like /SCMTMS/OM for managing warehouse processes) to navigate and check the status of the processes.
  Error Logs: Check the system logs for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context on why the status change is being blocked.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on handling warehouse process statuses.
  Documentation: Review the SAP documentation for Transportation Management and Warehouse Management for best practices on managing warehouse processes and understanding status transitions.
  User Roles: Ensure that the user attempting to make the status change has the necessary authorizations to perform such actions.
  
  If the problem continues after following these steps, it may be beneficial to engage with SAP support or your internal SAP team for further investigation.
