  Cause:
  
  Zero Quantity: The primary cause of this error is that the quantity of the product specified in the order is zero. This means that there is no stock to create a task for, which is why the system does not generate any warehouse tasks.

  Incorrect Order Type: The order type may not be suitable for task creation in the warehouse.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Order Quantity: Verify the order to ensure that the quantity of the product is greater than zero. If the quantity is indeed zero, you may need to adjust the order or create a new one with the correct quantity.
  Review Product and PSA Configuration: Ensure that the product is correctly configured in the system and that it is available in the specified PSA. Check the stock levels and ensure that there is sufficient inventory to create tasks.
  Adjust Order Details: If the order is not set up correctly, you may need to modify the order details to include the correct product quantities.

  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific configurations related to your warehouse processes.
  
  Related Information:
