• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/WHO011 - Limit value &1 used for &2 warehouse tasks ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/WHO011 indicates that a limit value has been reached for a specific warehouse task in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error typically occurs when the system has a predefined limit for the number of warehouse tasks that can be processed or created, and that limit has been exceeded.
  Cause:
  
  Limit Configuration: The error is often caused by the configuration settings in the EWM system, where a limit is set for the number of warehouse tasks that can be created or processed simultaneously.
  System Performance: If the system is under heavy load or if there are many warehouse tasks being processed at the same time, it may trigger this error.
  Task Creation Logic: The logic used to create warehouse tasks may be generating more tasks than the configured limit allows.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings for warehouse task limits in the EWM system. You may need to adjust the limit values to accommodate your operational needs.
  
  Navigate to the relevant configuration settings in the SAP EWM customizing (SPRO) and look for settings related to warehouse task limits.
  
  
  
  Monitor System Load: Check the system performance and load. If the system is under heavy load, consider optimizing the processes or scheduling tasks during off-peak hours.
  
  
  Batch Processing: If applicable, consider processing warehouse tasks in smaller batches to avoid hitting the limit.
  
  
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your warehouse task creation logic to manage situations where limits are reached, such as queuing tasks for later processing.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal or relevant documentation for more details on the specific configuration settings and best practices for managing warehouse tasks.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may want to use transaction codes like /SCWM/PRDI (for monitoring warehouse tasks) or /SCWM/TSK (for managing tasks) to get more insights into the current tasks and their statuses.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide updates and patches that could resolve the issue.
