• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/TW_WT004 - HU &1 moved to current location; warehouse task not created ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/TW_WT004 HU &1 moved to current location; warehouse task not created typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when handling Handling Units (HUs) and Warehouse Tasks (WTs). This message indicates that a Handling Unit (HU) has been moved to a new location, but a corresponding Warehouse Task was not created for that movement.
  Cause:
  
  Movement Type Configuration: The movement type used for the transfer may not be configured to create a warehouse task.
  Warehouse Task Creation Settings: The system settings for warehouse task creation might not be properly configured, leading to the absence of a task for the movement.
  HU Status: The status of the Handling Unit may not allow for the creation of a warehouse task (e.g., it might be in a status that prevents further processing).
  System Errors: There could be underlying system errors or inconsistencies in the database that prevent the creation of the warehouse task.
  User Authorization: The user performing the action may not have the necessary authorizations to create warehouse tasks.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Movement Type Configuration:
  
  Verify the configuration of the movement type in the system. Ensure that it is set up to create warehouse tasks for the specific movement scenario.
  
  
  
  Review Warehouse Task Creation Settings:
  
  Check the settings in the EWM configuration for warehouse task creation. Ensure that the relevant settings are enabled for the movement type being used.
  
  
  
  Inspect Handling Unit Status:
  
  Review the status of the Handling Unit. If it is in a status that does not allow for task creation, you may need to change its status or resolve any issues related to it.
  
  
  
  Check for System Errors:
  
  Look for any system logs or error messages that might indicate underlying issues. You can use transaction codes like SLG1 (Application Log) to check for relevant logs.
  
  
  
  User Authorization:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to create warehouse tasks. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to verify this.
  
  
  
  Manual Task Creation:
  
  If automatic task creation fails, consider manually creating a warehouse task for the movement of the Handling Unit as a temporary workaround.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SCWM/PRDI (for processing inbound deliveries), /SCWM/PRDI (for processing outbound deliveries), and /SCWM/WT (for managing warehouse tasks).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. You can search for specific notes using the SAP Support Portal.
