• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/WAVE081 - Wave &1 &2 does not contain any items ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/WAVE081 Wave &1 &2 does not contain any items typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when you are trying to process a wave that has no items associated with it. This can happen during wave creation, execution, or when trying to display wave details.
  Cause:
  
  Empty Wave: The wave you are trying to process has been created without any items. This can happen if the selection criteria used to create the wave did not match any stock or if there were no items available for the wave.
  Incorrect Wave Selection: The wave might have been incorrectly selected or specified, leading to the system not finding any items associated with it.
  Data Issues: There may be issues with the data in the system, such as items being removed or not being properly assigned to the wave.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Wave Creation Criteria: Review the criteria used to create the wave. Ensure that the selection parameters (like product, storage type, etc.) are correct and that there are items available that meet these criteria.
  Recreate the Wave: If the wave is indeed empty, you may need to recreate it with the correct parameters to ensure that it includes the necessary items.
  Review Wave Details: Use transaction codes like /SCWM/WAVE to check the details of the wave. Look for any discrepancies or issues that might indicate why no items are included.
  Check Stock Availability: Ensure that there is stock available for the items you expect to be included in the wave. You can check this using inventory management transactions.
  Consult Logs: If the issue persists, check the application logs for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context on why the wave is empty.
  
  Related Information:
