  The SAP error message /SCWM/RF_EN866 indicates that there is an issue with the resource velocity and unit of measurement for a specific resource in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system. This error typically arises when the system expects certain configurations to be in place for the resource being used in a warehouse process, but they are either missing or incorrectly set.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The resource (e.g., a forklift, worker, etc.) does not have a defined velocity or unit of measurement in the system.

  Verify that the unit of measurement (e.g., pieces, pallets) is correctly set.
  
  
  
  Update Resource Configuration:
  
  If the velocity or unit of measurement is missing, update the resource configuration to include the necessary details.
  Make sure to save the changes and check if the error persists.
