  Assign the appropriate shift to the warehouse process or the resources involved in the operation.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Navigate to the EWM configuration and verify that the shift settings are correctly configured.
  Ensure that the shift is active and properly linked to the relevant warehouse tasks.
  
  
  
  Review Master Data:
  
  Check the master data for the warehouse and ensure that all necessary information, including shifts, is correctly maintained.
  If you are using resources (like employees or equipment), ensure they have the correct shift assignments.
