• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/WHO423 - WO &1 is of category 'Pick, Pack, and Pass'; split not possible ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/WHO423 WO &1 is of category 'Pick, Pack, and Pass'; split not possible typically occurs in the context of warehouse management, particularly when dealing with work orders (WOs) in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error indicates that the work order you are trying to split is categorized as 'Pick, Pack, and Pass', which does not allow for splitting.
  Cause:
  
  Work Order Category: The work order is of a type that is not designed to be split. In this case, 'Pick, Pack, and Pass' work orders are meant to be processed as a whole.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured in such a way that certain types of work orders cannot be split due to business rules or operational requirements.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Work Order Type: Check if the work order type can be changed to a type that allows splitting. If the business process allows, consider creating a new work order that can be split.
  Process as a Whole: If the work order must remain as 'Pick, Pack, and Pass', you will need to process it in its entirety rather than attempting to split it.
  Consult Configuration: If you believe that splitting should be allowed, consult with your SAP EWM configuration team to review the settings related to work order types and splitting rules.
  Alternative Processing: If splitting is not an option, consider alternative processing methods, such as reassigning tasks or redistributing workload without splitting the work order.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal for detailed information on work order management in EWM.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in EWM that may help in managing work orders, such as /SCWM/PRDI for processing inbound deliveries or /SCWM/PRDI for managing work orders.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If customization is needed, explore user exits or Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) that may allow for more flexible handling of work orders.
  
  If the issue persists or if you need further assistance, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert who specializes in EWM.
