  The SAP error message /SCWM/UI_YMOVE029 Data inconsistency: more than one open warehouse task exists for TU &1 typically occurs in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error indicates that there are multiple open warehouse tasks associated with a Transportation Unit (TU), which is not allowed as each TU should only have one open warehouse task at a time.
  Cause:
  
  
  Multiple Warehouse Tasks: The primary cause of this error is that there are multiple open warehouse tasks linked to the same Transportation Unit. This can happen due to:
  
  System errors or bugs that create duplicate tasks.
  Manual errors during task creation or processing.
  Incomplete or interrupted processes that leave tasks in an open state.
  
  
  
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the database or in the way the warehouse tasks are being managed, leading to multiple tasks being open for the same TU.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Open Warehouse Tasks:
  
  Use transaction codes like /SCWM/PRDI (for displaying warehouse tasks) or /SCWM/TO (for displaying transfer orders) to check for open warehouse tasks associated with the specific TU.

  Close or Delete Duplicate Tasks:
  
  If you find multiple open tasks for the same TU, you will need to either complete, cancel, or delete the unnecessary tasks.
  You can do this through the EWM interface or by using relevant transaction codes to manage warehouse tasks.
  
  
  
  Review Process Flow:
  
  Investigate the process flow that led to the creation of multiple tasks. Ensure that the processes are being followed correctly to prevent future occurrences.
  Check for any custom developments or enhancements that might be affecting task creation.
