• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/MQ_CONFIG001 - Message queue definition &1 does not exist ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/MQ_CONFIG001 Message queue definition &1 does not exist typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when the system is trying to access a message queue that has not been defined or configured properly. This can happen in various scenarios, such as during the configuration of message queues for communication between different components or systems.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The specified message queue definition does not exist in the system. This could be due to a missing configuration step during the setup of the EWM system.
  Incorrect Queue Name: The name of the message queue being referenced may be incorrect or misspelled.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from another system, the transport might not have included the necessary message queue definitions.
  System Environment: The error may also arise if the system is not properly set up to handle message queues, such as missing necessary components or services.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration:

  Verify Queue Name:
  
  Double-check the name of the message queue in your configuration or code to ensure it matches the defined queue.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
