• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/UI_PACKING072 - Subsequent WT created. Repacking only possible after saving ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/UI_PACKING072 indicates that a subsequent Warehouse Task (WT) has been created, and repacking is only possible after saving the current changes. This error typically occurs in the context of the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when users attempt to perform repacking operations without first saving the current state of the warehouse task.
  Cause:
  
  Subsequent Warehouse Task Creation: When a user is in the process of packing or repacking items, the system may automatically create a subsequent warehouse task based on the current actions. This can happen if there are changes to the packing structure or if items are being moved to different storage locations.
  Unsaved Changes: The system requires that all changes be saved before allowing further actions like repacking. If there are unsaved changes, the system will prevent the user from proceeding with repacking to ensure data integrity.
  
  Solution:
  
  Save Current Changes: The immediate solution is to save the current warehouse task or packing operation. Look for a "Save" button or option in the user interface and click it to save your changes.
  Check for Open Tasks: Ensure that there are no open or pending tasks that need to be completed before you can proceed with repacking.
  Review Task Status: After saving, check the status of the warehouse task to ensure it is in a state that allows repacking.
  Repack After Saving: Once the changes are saved, you should be able to proceed with the repacking operation without encountering the error.
  
  Related Information:
  
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform packing and repacking operations in the EWM system.
  System Configuration: Sometimes, system settings or configurations may affect how warehouse tasks are handled. Consult with your SAP EWM administrator if you suspect configuration issues.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on warehouse task management and packing processes in EWM.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a technical consultant who specializes in SAP EWM for further assistance.
