• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/QUI_QRS031 - No higher-level rule found ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/QUI_QRS031 No higher-level rule found typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when the system is unable to find a higher-level rule that is required for processing a specific request or operation. This error can arise in various scenarios, such as during the creation of a transfer order, picking, or other warehouse management activities.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The most common cause of this error is that the necessary higher-level rules (like picking rules, putaway rules, etc.) have not been defined or are not properly configured in the system.
  Rule Hierarchy: The system may be expecting a specific hierarchy of rules, and if the required higher-level rule is not defined, it will trigger this error.
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the master data or configuration settings that prevent the system from finding the appropriate rules.
  Warehouse Process Type: The warehouse process type being used may not have the necessary rules assigned to it.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration: 
  
  Go to the EWM configuration settings and verify that the higher-level rules are defined correctly. This includes checking the picking, putaway, and other relevant rules.
  Ensure that the rules are assigned to the correct warehouse process types.
  
  
  
  Define Higher-Level Rules:
  
  If the higher-level rules are missing, you will need to create them. This can be done in the EWM customizing settings under the relevant sections for rules (e.g., picking rules, putaway rules).
  
  
  
  Review Rule Hierarchy:
  
  Ensure that the hierarchy of rules is correctly set up. Check if the rules are linked properly and that there are no gaps in the hierarchy.
  
  
  
  Check Master Data:
  
  Review the master data related to the warehouse, such as storage types, storage bins, and products, to ensure that everything is set up correctly and consistently.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making changes, test the configuration by trying to perform the operation that triggered the error to ensure that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on configuring higher-level rules in EWM.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like /SCWM/PRDI (for managing rules) or /SCWM/PRD1 (for defining process types) to access the relevant configuration areas.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on configuration.
  Support: If the issue persists after checking the configuration, consider reaching out to SAP support or consulting with an SAP EWM expert for further assistance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement the necessary changes to resolve it.
