  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings in EWM to ensure that they align with your business processes. If necessary, consult with your SAP EWM administrator or consultant to adjust the settings.
  
  
  Data Validation: Validate the data related to the transportation units and vehicle activities to ensure there are no inconsistencies. This may involve checking the status of TUs and ensuring they are correctly set up in the system.
