• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/LM_EWRKL095 - Max. duration exceeded for EWL with processor &1 for step &2 at &3 &4 ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/LM_EWRKL095 Max. duration exceeded for EWL with processor &1 for step &2 at &3 &4 typically occurs in the context of Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when a process takes longer than the predefined maximum duration. This can happen during various warehouse operations, such as picking, putaway, or inventory management.
  Cause:
  
  
  Long Processing Time: The most common cause is that the processing time for a specific task (like picking or putaway) exceeds the configured maximum duration. This could be due to various reasons, such as:
  
  High workload or congestion in the warehouse.
  Inefficient picking routes or methods.
  System performance issues or delays.
  Resource unavailability (e.g., equipment or personnel).
  Incorrect configuration of the maximum duration settings.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: The maximum duration for the task might be set too low for the actual processing time required in your warehouse operations.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review and Adjust Maximum Duration Settings:
  
  Check the configuration settings for the maximum duration of the relevant processes in the EWM system. You can find these settings in the customizing transaction (SPRO) under the EWM settings.
  Increase the maximum duration for the specific task type that is causing the error.
  
  
  
  Analyze Performance:
  
  Monitor the performance of the warehouse operations to identify bottlenecks or inefficiencies.
  Use transaction codes like /SCWM/PRD (for performance analysis) to gather insights on processing times and identify areas for improvement.
  
  
  
  Optimize Warehouse Processes:
  
  Review and optimize picking routes, resource allocation, and task assignments to reduce processing times.
  Ensure that all necessary resources (e.g., forklifts, personnel) are available and properly utilized.
  
  
  
  System Performance:
  
  Check the overall system performance. If the SAP system is slow, it may affect processing times. Work with your IT team to ensure that the system is running optimally.
  
  
  
  Error Handling:
  
  Implement error handling procedures to manage tasks that exceed the maximum duration. This could involve alerting warehouse managers or automatically reassigning tasks.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in EWM, such as /SCWM/PRD for performance analysis and /SCWM/ORD for order management.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues related to this error message or provide updates and patches.
  Documentation: Review SAP EWM documentation for best practices in warehouse management and configuration settings.
  
  By addressing the root causes and optimizing your warehouse processes, you can reduce the likelihood of encountering this error in the future.
