  The SAP error message /SCWM/WAVE066 Picking completion time is before the release time typically occurs in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error indicates that there is a discrepancy between the picking completion time and the release time of the wave. Specifically, it means that the system is trying to process a picking completion that is timestamped before the wave was actually released for picking.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Time Stamps: The picking completion time is recorded with a timestamp that is earlier than the wave release time.
  System Clock Issues: There may be discrepancies in the system clock settings on the server or client machines.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entries or batch processes that incorrectly set the timestamps can lead to this error.
  Workflow Issues: If the wave was not properly released or if there are issues in the workflow that affect the timing of events.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Time Stamps: Verify the timestamps for both the picking completion and the wave release. Ensure that the picking completion time is indeed after the wave release time.
  Adjust System Clocks: Ensure that the system clocks on all relevant servers and clients are synchronized and set to the correct time zone.
  Review Data Entry: If the timestamps were manually entered, review the entries for accuracy and correct any discrepancies.
  Reprocess the Wave: If necessary, you may need to reprocess the wave. This could involve canceling the current picking process and re-releasing the wave.
  Consult Logs: Check the application logs for any additional error messages or warnings that could provide more context about the issue.
