• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/WHO523 - Requested execution item &1 already used by WT &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/WHO523 Requested execution item &1 already used by WT &2 typically occurs in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error indicates that the execution item you are trying to process is already associated with a work task (WT) that is currently being worked on or has been completed.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Processing: The execution item is being processed by another work task, which means it cannot be reused until that task is completed or released.
  System Locking: The system may have a locking mechanism that prevents the same execution item from being processed multiple times simultaneously.
  Incorrect Workflow: There may be a workflow or process issue where the execution item is not being released properly after its use.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Work Task Status: Verify the status of the work task (WT) associated with the execution item. If it is still open or in progress, you may need to wait until it is completed or released.
  Release the Work Task: If the work task is no longer needed, you can manually release or complete it, allowing the execution item to be reused.
  Review System Logs: Check the system logs for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about the issue.
  Consult with Warehouse Management Team: If you are unsure about the status of the work task or how to proceed, consult with your warehouse management team or SAP support for guidance.
  Transaction Codes: Use relevant transaction codes (like /SCWM/WT for work tasks) to monitor and manage work tasks and execution items.
