  The SAP error message /SCWM/RF_EN588 End of task list; next task not possible typically occurs in the context of the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system, particularly when using the Radio Frequency (RF) interface. This error indicates that the system has reached the end of the task list for the current user session, and there are no more tasks available for processing.
  Causes:
  
  No Available Tasks: The most common cause is that there are simply no more tasks available for the user to process in the current task list.
  Task Completion: The user may have completed all tasks assigned to them, and the system is unable to find any new tasks to assign.
  Task Filtering: There may be filters applied that limit the visibility of tasks, resulting in no tasks being displayed.
  Session Timeout: If the user session has timed out or if there are connectivity issues, the system may not be able to retrieve new tasks.

  Solutions:
  
  Check Task Availability: Verify if there are any tasks available for processing. You can do this by checking the task management screen in EWM.
  Refresh Task List: Try refreshing the task list or logging out and back into the RF interface to see if new tasks become available.
  Review Filters: Ensure that there are no filters applied that might be hiding available tasks. Clear any unnecessary filters.
  Session Management: If you suspect a session timeout, try logging out and back in to re-establish a connection with the system.
  Check User Assignments: Ensure that the user has the correct roles and permissions to access and process tasks.
  System Configuration: Consult with your SAP Basis or EWM configuration team to ensure that the system is set up correctly to generate and assign tasks.
