• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/GM095 - Open warehouse tasks exist for HU &1; goods issue not possible ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/GM095 indicates that there are open warehouse tasks associated with a Handling Unit (HU) that prevent the goods issue process from being completed. This typically occurs in the context of warehouse management in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM).
  Cause:
  The error arises when there are outstanding warehouse tasks that need to be completed before the goods issue can proceed. This can happen for several reasons, including:
  
  There are still tasks related to the handling unit that have not been processed (e.g., picking, packing, or putaway tasks).
  The handling unit is still in the process of being moved or is locked due to ongoing operations.
  The system is configured to prevent goods issues if there are pending tasks to ensure inventory accuracy and operational integrity.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Open Warehouse Tasks:
  
  Use transaction codes like /SCWM/PRDI (for displaying warehouse tasks) or /SCWM/PRDI (for displaying handling units) to identify any open tasks related to the handling unit in question.
  Review the status of these tasks and determine if they can be completed or canceled.
  
  
  
  Complete or Cancel Tasks:
  
  If the tasks are still relevant, complete them as necessary. This may involve picking, packing, or moving the handling unit as required.
  If the tasks are no longer needed, you may cancel them, but ensure that this action aligns with your warehouse processes.
  
  
  
  Check for Locks:
  
  Ensure that the handling unit is not locked by another process. If it is, you may need to wait for the other process to complete or resolve any issues causing the lock.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  If this issue occurs frequently, review the configuration settings in your SAP EWM system to ensure that they align with your operational processes. You may need to adjust settings related to task management and goods issue processes.
