• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/LM_EPD045 - Working hours for processor &1 could not be determined from HR system ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/LM_EPD045 indicates that the system is unable to determine the working hours for a specific processor (in this case, represented by &1) from the HR system. This error typically arises in the context of warehouse management and labor management processes within SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM).
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing or Incorrect HR Data: The most common cause is that the HR data for the processor is either missing or incorrectly configured. This could include missing employee records, incorrect working time models, or misconfigured infotypes in the HR module.
  
  
  Integration Issues: There may be issues with the integration between the HR system and the EWM system, which can prevent the correct data from being fetched.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user or the system may not have the necessary authorizations to access the HR data.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: The configuration settings in the EWM or HR module may not be set up correctly to retrieve the working hours.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check HR Data: Verify that the employee record for the processor exists in the HR system. Ensure that the working time model is correctly assigned and that all relevant infotypes (such as IT0007 for planned working time) are filled out correctly.
  
  
  Integration Check: Ensure that the integration between the HR system and EWM is functioning correctly. This may involve checking the middleware or any interfaces that are used to transfer data between the systems.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user or system has the necessary authorizations to access the HR data. This may involve checking user roles and authorizations in both the HR and EWM systems.
  
  
  Configuration Review: Review the configuration settings in both the EWM and HR modules to ensure that they are set up correctly to retrieve working hours. This may involve checking the settings for labor management and working time models.
  
  
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the process to identify where the data retrieval is failing. This may require technical expertise in SAP.
