  The SAP error message /SCWM/WHO040 Item filter &1 checked typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when there is an issue related to item filtering during warehouse operations. This message indicates that the item filter specified in the system is checked, which may prevent certain items from being processed as expected.
  Cause:
  
  Item Filter Configuration: The item filter may be configured to exclude certain items based on specific criteria (e.g., item type, status, etc.). If the item you are trying to process falls under this filter, it will trigger this error.
  Warehouse Process Type: The warehouse process type being used may have restrictions or filters applied that affect the items being processed.

  Review Item Filter Settings: Check the configuration of the item filter in the system. Ensure that the filter settings are appropriate for the items you are trying to process. You can do this by navigating to the relevant configuration settings in the SAP EWM system.
  Adjust Warehouse Process Type: If the warehouse process type is causing the issue, consider adjusting the settings or using a different process type that does not have the same restrictions.
  Check Master Data: Verify the master data for the items in question. Ensure that all necessary fields are filled out correctly and that the items are not marked in a way that would exclude them from processing.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on item filters and their configurations.
  Testing: After making changes, perform tests to ensure that the items can now be processed without triggering the error.
