• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/LM_EWRKL122 - Processing for preparation with max. duration check for duration &1 &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/LM_EWRKL122 typically relates to the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module in SAP. This error indicates that there is an issue with the processing of a task due to a maximum duration check. The message usually specifies that the processing time for a particular task has exceeded the allowed maximum duration.
  Cause:
  
  
  Exceeded Maximum Duration: The primary cause of this error is that the processing time for a task has exceeded the predefined maximum duration set in the system. This can happen due to various reasons, such as:
  
  Delays in picking or packing processes.
  Resource constraints (e.g., insufficient manpower or equipment).
  System performance issues leading to slow processing times.
  
  
  
  Configuration Settings: The maximum duration settings may not be configured correctly or may be too restrictive for the current operational conditions.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Maximum Duration Settings:
  
  Check the configuration settings for maximum duration in the EWM system. You can find these settings in the customizing transaction (SPRO) under the EWM settings.
  Adjust the maximum duration values if they are too low for the current operational processes.
  
  
  
  Analyze Task Performance:
  
  Investigate the specific task that triggered the error. Look into the logs or monitoring tools to identify any bottlenecks or delays in the process.
  Ensure that resources (labor, equipment) are adequately allocated to meet the demand.
  
  
  
  Optimize Processes:
  
  Review and optimize warehouse processes to reduce processing times. This may involve streamlining workflows, improving layout, or enhancing training for warehouse staff.
  
  
  
  System Performance:
  
  If the issue is related to system performance, consider checking the system's performance metrics and addressing any underlying issues (e.g., hardware upgrades, database optimization).
  
  
  
  Error Handling:
  
  Implement error handling procedures to manage tasks that exceed the maximum duration. This may include alerts or notifications to warehouse managers for timely intervention.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may want to use transaction codes like /SCWM/PRDIAG for diagnostics or /SCWM/PRT for monitoring tasks.
