• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/QUI_WRKST035 - Follow-on action is specified externally ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/QUI_WRKST035 indicates that a follow-on action has been specified externally in the context of the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system. This error typically arises when there is an attempt to perform an action that is not allowed due to the current state of the process or the configuration of the system.
  Cause:
  
  External Specification: The error suggests that a follow-on action (like a transfer order, goods movement, etc.) is being triggered from an external source or system, which is not compatible with the current state of the warehouse process.
  Process State: The current process might not be in a state that allows for the specified follow-on action. For example, if a task is already in progress or completed, trying to initiate a follow-on action may lead to this error.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the EWM that restrict certain follow-on actions based on the current process or status of the warehouse task.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Process State: Review the current state of the warehouse process to ensure that it is in a valid state for the follow-on action you are trying to perform. If the process is not in the correct state, you may need to complete or cancel the current task before proceeding.
  Review External Calls: If the action is being triggered from an external system, verify the parameters being sent and ensure they are valid and appropriate for the current context in EWM.
  Configuration Review: Check the configuration settings in the EWM system to ensure that the follow-on actions are correctly defined and allowed for the current process. This may involve reviewing the settings in the EWM customizing (SPRO) related to follow-on actions.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific error message for additional context and troubleshooting steps.
  Debugging: If you have access to the system, consider debugging the process to identify where the error is being triggered and what conditions are leading to it.
