• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/GOODS_MOVEMENT003 - Warehouse task &2 exists for HU &1 (Cancellation not possible) ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/GOODS_MOVEMENT003 indicates that a warehouse task (WT) exists for a handling unit (HU), which prevents the cancellation of a goods movement. This error typically arises in the context of warehouse management processes in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM).
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to cancel a goods movement for a handling unit that is still associated with an active warehouse task. The system does not allow the cancellation because the warehouse task needs to be completed or canceled first before the goods movement can be modified or canceled.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Active Warehouse Tasks:
  
  Use transaction code /SCWM/WT or navigate to the relevant warehouse task management screen to check for any active warehouse tasks associated with the handling unit (HU) in question.
  
  
  
  Complete or Cancel the Warehouse Task:
  
  If the warehouse task is still open, you will need to either complete it or cancel it. 
  To complete the task, ensure that the necessary actions (like picking, putaway, etc.) are performed.
  If you need to cancel the warehouse task, you can do so from the warehouse task management screen. Select the task and choose the option to cancel it.
  
  
  
  Retry the Cancellation:
  
  Once the warehouse task is completed or canceled, you can attempt to cancel the goods movement again.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that there are no other dependencies or processes that might be locking the handling unit or the warehouse task.
