• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/WHO424 - WO &1 is of category 'Pick, Pack, and Pass'; merge not possible ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/WHO424 WO &1 is of category 'Pick, Pack, and Pass'; merge not possible typically occurs in the context of warehouse management processes, particularly when dealing with work orders (WOs) in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error indicates that the work order you are trying to merge is categorized as 'Pick, Pack, and Pass', which means it is not eligible for merging with other work orders.
  Cause:
  
  Work Order Category: The work order is specifically designated for picking, packing, and passing, which implies that it has a specific workflow that does not allow for merging with other orders.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured to prevent merging of certain types of work orders based on business rules or operational requirements.
  Status of Work Order: The status of the work order may not allow for merging, especially if it is already in process or has been partially completed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Work Order Type: Check the type and category of the work order. If it is indeed a 'Pick, Pack, and Pass' order, consider whether merging is necessary or if the process can continue as is.
  Adjust Configuration: If merging is a requirement for your business process, you may need to adjust the configuration settings in SAP EWM to allow merging of this category of work orders. This may involve consulting with your SAP configuration team or a functional consultant.
  Separate Processing: If merging is not possible, process the work orders separately. Ensure that the workflow for each order is followed according to the defined business processes.
  Check Status: Ensure that the work order is in a status that allows for merging. If it is in a locked or completed status, you may need to change it back to a status that allows for further processing.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal for detailed documentation on work order management in EWM.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SCWM/ORDIM for managing orders and /SCWM/WO for work orders.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If you have specific business requirements, consider implementing user exits or Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) that can customize the behavior of work order processing.
  Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal IT team for further assistance.
  
  By understanding the cause of the error and following the suggested solutions, you should be able to address the issue effectively.
