• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/TW_WT009 - Process-oriented stor.ctrl must be deactive in WPT &1 for transit HU &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/TW_WT009 indicates that the process-oriented storage control (POSC) must be deactivated for a specific warehouse task (WPT) when dealing with a transit handling unit (HU). This error typically arises in the context of warehouse management processes in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM).
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the system detects that the process-oriented storage control is active for a warehouse task that is associated with a transit handling unit. This situation is not allowed because transit handling units should not be managed with process-oriented storage control, which is typically used for stock that is being processed within the warehouse.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Warehouse Task (WPT) Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration of the warehouse task that is causing the error. Ensure that the process-oriented storage control is not activated for the relevant warehouse process type that is being used for transit handling units.
  
  
  
  Deactivate Process-Oriented Storage Control:
  
  If the process-oriented storage control is indeed activated for the warehouse task, you will need to deactivate it. This can typically be done in the configuration settings of the warehouse management system (WMS) in SAP EWM.
  
  
  
  Review Handling Unit (HU) Settings:
  
  Check the settings for the transit handling unit. Ensure that it is correctly configured and that it is not being processed in a way that conflicts with the warehouse task settings.
  
  
  
  Recreate the Warehouse Task:
  
  If the warehouse task was created incorrectly, you may need to delete the existing task and recreate it with the correct settings.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed guidance on configuring process-oriented storage control and handling units.
