  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/OM369 Can't cancel document &1; whse proc. status is "Ready for Whse Proc." typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when you attempt to cancel a document (such as a transportation order or shipment) that is in a status that does not allow for cancellation. Specifically, the status "Ready for Whse Proc." indicates that the document is ready for warehouse processing, and thus, it cannot be canceled at this stage.
  Cause:
  
  Document Status: The document you are trying to cancel is in a status that prohibits cancellation. In this case, "Ready for Whse Proc." means that the document is already prepared for warehouse processing.
  Business Logic: The system is designed to prevent cancellation of documents that are in a state where they are expected to be processed further, ensuring data integrity and consistency in the logistics process.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Document Status: Review the status of the document you are trying to cancel. If it is indeed "Ready for Whse Proc.", you will need to change its status before attempting to cancel it.
  Change Status: If possible, change the status of the document to a state that allows for cancellation. This may involve:
  
  Completing the warehouse processing.
  Reversing any related processes that have been initiated.
  
  
  Consult with Warehouse Management: If you are unsure how to proceed, consult with your warehouse management team or the relevant stakeholders to determine the best course of action.
  Use Transaction Codes: Depending on your SAP configuration, you may need to use specific transaction codes to change the status or to cancel the document. Common transaction codes include:
  
  /SCMTMS/TO for Transportation Orders
  /SCMTMS/SH for Shipments
  
  
  SAP Notes and Documentation: Check for any relevant SAP Notes or documentation that may provide additional insights or updates regarding this error message.
