• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/RF_EN759 - Warehouse task was already created ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/RF_EN759 Warehouse task was already created typically occurs in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when there is an attempt to create a warehouse task (WT) for a handling unit (HU) or a stock item that already has an existing warehouse task associated with it. This can happen during various processes, such as picking, putaway, or inventory management.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Task Creation: The system is trying to create a warehouse task for an item that already has an active warehouse task.
  System Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the warehouse processes that allow for multiple tasks to be created for the same item.
  User Actions: A user may have inadvertently attempted to create a task for an item that is already being processed.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Warehouse Tasks: 
  
  Use transaction codes like /SCWM/WT or /SCWM/PRT to check for existing warehouse tasks related to the handling unit or stock item in question.
  If a task exists, you may need to complete or cancel it before creating a new one.
  
  
  
  Review Task Status: 
  
  Ensure that the existing warehouse task is not in a status that prevents further processing. If it is, you may need to complete or change the status of the task.
  
  
  
  Adjust User Actions: 
  
  Train users to check for existing tasks before attempting to create new ones to avoid duplication.
  
  
  
  System Configuration: 
  
  Review the configuration settings in the EWM system to ensure that the warehouse task creation process is set up correctly and does not allow for duplicate tasks.
  
  
  
  Error Handling: 
  
  Implement error handling in your processes to catch this error and provide feedback to users, guiding them on how to resolve the issue.
