  Review Configuration Settings: Check the configuration settings in SAP EWM or WM to ensure that the requirement for Work Orders is correctly set up. If necessary, adjust the settings to align with your business processes.
  Data Consistency Check: Perform a data consistency check to identify any discrepancies in the database that may be causing the issue. This may involve checking related tables and ensuring that all necessary links between WTs and WOs are intact.
