• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/MONITOR003 - Function module &1 does not exist ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/MONITOR003 Function module &1 does not exist typically indicates that the system is trying to call a function module that is either not defined or not available in the system. This can occur in various scenarios, particularly in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM).
  Causes:
  
  Missing Function Module: The function module referenced by &1 is not defined in the SAP system. This could be due to a missing transport or an incomplete installation of a component.
