  The SAP error message /SCWM/BIF_TWH001 No warehouses exist for SAP EWM system &1 (client &2); create them first indicates that the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system is unable to find any warehouses configured for the specified EWM system and client. This is a common issue when setting up or configuring SAP EWM.
  Cause:
  
  No Warehouses Configured: The most straightforward cause is that no warehouses have been created in the EWM system for the specified client.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be an issue with the configuration settings, such as the warehouse not being activated or properly linked to the EWM system.
  Client-Specific Issues: The error may arise if the warehouse is created in a different client than the one you are currently working in.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to create a warehouse in the EWM system. Here are the steps to do so:
  
  
  Access the EWM Configuration:

  Check Client Settings:

  If the warehouse was created in a different client, you will need to either create it in the current client or switch to the correct client.
