• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/WHO536 - You can only split warehouse tasks from a warehouse order ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/WHO536 indicates that you are trying to split a warehouse task (WT) that is not associated with a warehouse order (WO). This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when users attempt to perform a split operation on a warehouse task that is not eligible for splitting.
  Cause:
  
  Warehouse Task Type: The warehouse task you are trying to split may not be linked to a warehouse order. In SAP EWM, only warehouse tasks that are created from warehouse orders can be split.
  Task Status: The status of the warehouse task may not allow for splitting. For example, if the task is already in progress or completed, it may not be eligible for splitting.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the EWM system that restrict the splitting of certain types of warehouse tasks.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Warehouse Order Association: Ensure that the warehouse task you are trying to split is indeed associated with a warehouse order. You can do this by checking the details of the warehouse task in the system.
  Review Task Status: Verify the status of the warehouse task. If it is in a status that does not allow splitting (e.g., in progress), you may need to complete or cancel the task before attempting to split it.
  Use the Correct Process: If you need to split a warehouse task, ensure you are following the correct process for splitting tasks that are linked to warehouse orders. This typically involves selecting the warehouse order and then performing the split operation on the associated tasks.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP EWM documentation or help resources for specific instructions on how to manage warehouse tasks and orders, including splitting tasks.
  Check Configuration: If you suspect that configuration settings are causing the issue, consult with your SAP EWM administrator or technical team to review the settings related to warehouse task management.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP EWM Documentation: Review the official SAP documentation for Extended Warehouse Management for detailed information on warehouse tasks and orders.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP EWM that can help you manage warehouse tasks and orders (e.g., /SCWM/PRDI for processing warehouse tasks).
  Support Notes: Check SAP Support Portal for any relevant notes or updates related to this error message, as there may be patches or updates that address specific issues.
