• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/WAVE020 - No waves selected ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/WAVE020 No waves selected typically occurs in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when a user attempts to execute a wave process but no waves are available for selection. This can happen for several reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for resolving the issue.
  Causes:
  
  No Waves Created: There may not be any waves created in the system for the selected criteria (e.g., date, warehouse, etc.).
  Wave Status: The waves that exist may not be in a status that allows them to be selected (e.g., they may be completed or canceled).
  Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used to filter waves may be too restrictive, resulting in no available waves.
  Data Synchronization: There may be a delay or issue with data synchronization in the system, leading to the absence of visible waves.

  Solutions:
  
  Check Wave Creation: Verify if any waves have been created for the relevant time period and warehouse. You can do this by navigating to the wave management area in SAP EWM.
  Review Wave Status: Check the status of existing waves to ensure they are open and available for processing. You can do this by using transaction codes related to wave management.
  Adjust Selection Criteria: Modify the selection criteria to be less restrictive. For example, broaden the date range or remove specific filters to see if any waves appear.
  Refresh Data: If you suspect a data synchronization issue, try refreshing the data or logging out and back into the system to see if the waves appear.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to view and select waves. This may require coordination with your SAP security team.
  Consult Logs: If the issue persists, check the system logs for any related error messages or warnings that could provide additional context.
