• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/CHM001 - Check category & not found ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/CHM001 Check category & not found typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when the system is unable to find a specified check category in the configuration. This can happen during various processes, such as during the creation of a handling unit, when performing inventory checks, or during other warehouse management activities.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The check category that is being referenced in the process is not defined in the system. This could be due to a missing entry in the configuration settings for handling units or inventory checks.
  Incorrect Check Category: The check category being used may be incorrectly specified or may not exist in the system.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was recently transported from another system, it may not have been transported correctly, leading to missing entries.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Navigate to the configuration settings for handling units or inventory checks in SAP EWM.
  Ensure that the check category in question is defined correctly. You can do this by going to the relevant customizing transaction (e.g., SPRO) and checking the settings under Extended Warehouse Management.
  
  
  
  Define Missing Check Category:
  
  If the check category is indeed missing, you will need to create it. This can typically be done in the configuration settings where you define check categories for handling units or inventory checks.
  
  
  
  Verify Usage:
  
  Ensure that the process or transaction you are executing is using the correct check category. If you are using a custom process, verify that it aligns with the defined categories.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were transported correctly. You may need to re-transport the configuration or manually create the missing entries.
