  The SAP error message /SCWM/MONITOR236 Shift sequence does not exist typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when the system is unable to find a defined shift sequence for a specific warehouse or operation. This can happen for various reasons, such as configuration issues or missing data.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Shift Sequence Configuration: The shift sequence may not have been defined in the system for the relevant warehouse or operation.
  Incorrect Warehouse Settings: The warehouse settings may not be properly configured to include the necessary shift sequences.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data related to the shift sequences, such as missing entries in the relevant tables.
  User Input Error: The user may have entered an incorrect warehouse number or other parameters that do not correspond to an existing shift sequence.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Shift Sequence Configuration:
  
  Navigate to the configuration settings for shift sequences in SAP EWM.
  Ensure that the shift sequence is defined for the relevant warehouse and that it is active.
  
  
  
  Define a New Shift Sequence:
  
  If the shift sequence does not exist, you may need to create a new one. This can typically be done in the customizing settings under:

  Verify Warehouse Settings:
  
  Check the warehouse settings to ensure that the shift sequence is linked correctly.
  Ensure that the warehouse is set up to use the defined shift sequences.
  
  
  
  Check for Data Consistency:
