• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/WHO048 - Warehouse order cannot be created without a number range object ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/WHO048 indicates that a warehouse order cannot be created because there is no number range object assigned to the relevant warehouse process. This error typically occurs in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module of SAP when trying to create a warehouse order without a properly configured number range.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Number Range Object: The system does not have a number range object defined for the warehouse order type you are trying to create.
  Configuration Issues: The number range object may not be assigned to the warehouse order type in the configuration settings.
  Incorrect Warehouse Order Type: The warehouse order type being used may not have a valid number range assigned.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that a number range object is properly configured and assigned to the warehouse order type. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Look for the number range object related to warehouse orders, typically named something like /SCWM/WHO.
  Ensure that the number range is defined and that there are intervals set up for it.
  
  
  
  Assign Number Range to Warehouse Order Type:
  
  Go to the transaction code SPRO (SAP Reference IMG).
  Navigate to: Logistics Execution -> Extended Warehouse Management -> Warehouse Management -> Define Warehouse Order Types.
  Select the warehouse order type you are using and check if a number range object is assigned.
  If not, assign the appropriate number range object to the warehouse order type.
  
  
  
  Create Number Range Intervals:
  
  If the number range object exists but does not have any intervals, you will need to create intervals for it.
  In the SNRO transaction, select the number range object and create a new interval with the desired range.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, try to create the warehouse order again to see if the error persists.
