• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/WAVE009 - No active material items selected ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/WAVE009 No active material items selected typically occurs in the context of the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module, particularly when trying to create or process a wave for picking or other warehouse activities. This error indicates that the system could not find any active material items that meet the criteria for the wave you are trying to create or process.
  Causes:
  
  
  No Active Stock: There may be no stock available for the materials you are trying to include in the wave. This could be due to stock being depleted, or materials not being properly received into the warehouse.
  
  
  Selection Criteria: The selection criteria defined for the wave may be too restrictive, leading to no materials being selected. This could include filters based on storage type, material type, or other parameters.
  
  
  Inactive Materials: The materials you are trying to include in the wave may be inactive or not set up correctly in the system.
  
  
  Warehouse Management Settings: There may be issues with the warehouse management settings or configurations that prevent the selection of materials.
  
  
  Batch Management: If batch management is enabled, there may be no available batches for the materials.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Stock Levels: Verify that there is active stock available for the materials you are trying to include in the wave. You can do this by checking the stock overview in the EWM or using transaction codes like MMBE or LX03.
  
  
  Review Wave Selection Criteria: Review the selection criteria used for the wave creation. Ensure that the criteria are not too restrictive and that they align with the available stock.
  
  
  Material Status: Check the status of the materials in question. Ensure that they are active and properly configured in the system.
  
  
  Warehouse Configuration: Review the warehouse management settings to ensure that they are correctly configured to allow for the selection of materials.
  
  
  Batch Availability: If batch management is in use, check if there are available batches for the materials. You may need to create or activate batches if they are not available.
  
  
  Logs and Messages: Check the application logs and messages for any additional information that might provide insight into why no materials were selected.
