• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/WHO549 - Warehouse orders with physical inventory documents could not be merged ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/WHO549 indicates that there is an issue with merging warehouse orders that are associated with physical inventory documents in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error typically arises when there are conflicting conditions or statuses related to the warehouse orders and the physical inventory documents.
  Cause:
  
  Physical Inventory Documents: The warehouse orders involved are linked to physical inventory documents, which may have specific statuses that prevent merging.
  Order Status: The warehouse orders may be in a status that does not allow merging, such as being locked or already processed.
  Different Inventory Types: The orders may involve different types of inventory (e.g., stock types like unrestricted, blocked, etc.) that cannot be merged.
  Quantity Differences: The quantities in the warehouse orders may differ significantly, making it impossible to merge them logically.
  Configuration Settings: There may be configuration settings in the EWM that restrict merging of orders under certain conditions.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Order Status: Review the status of the warehouse orders involved. Ensure that they are not locked or in a status that prevents merging.
  Review Physical Inventory Documents: Check the associated physical inventory documents to ensure they are not in a status that would prevent merging (e.g., being processed or completed).
  Adjust Inventory Types: Ensure that the warehouse orders are dealing with the same inventory types. If they are not, consider separating them instead of merging.
  Quantity Alignment: If the quantities differ, assess whether they can be adjusted to allow for merging.
  Configuration Review: Consult with your SAP EWM configuration team to review any settings that may restrict merging of warehouse orders with physical inventory documents.
  Manual Processing: If merging is not possible, consider processing the warehouse orders separately.
