The SAP error message
/SCWM/WHO553 Warehouse task &1 is not assigned to a warehouse order
typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when you are trying to process a warehouse task that is not linked to any warehouse order. This can happen for various reasons, and understanding the cause and potential solutions can help resolve the issue.Cause:
- Warehouse Task Creation: The warehouse task (WT) may have been created independently and not assigned to a warehouse order (WO). This can happen if the task was created manually or if there was an error during the automatic creation process.
- Warehouse Order Deletion: The warehouse order to which the warehouse task was supposed to be assigned may have been deleted or not created at all.
- System Configuration: There may be configuration issues in the EWM system that prevent the proper assignment of warehouse tasks to warehouse orders.
- Task Status: The status of the warehouse task may not allow it to be assigned to a warehouse order.
Solution:
- Check Warehouse Task Assignment: Verify if the warehouse task is indeed not assigned to any warehouse order. You can do this by checking the details of the warehouse task in the EWM system.
- Create or Assign Warehouse Order: If the warehouse task is not assigned to a warehouse order, you may need to create a new warehouse order and assign the task to it. This can typically be done through the EWM interface.
- Review Task Creation Process: If the warehouse task was created manually, ensure that it follows the correct process for assignment to a warehouse order. If it was supposed to be created automatically, check the relevant configuration settings.
- Check for Deletions: Ensure that the warehouse order has not been deleted or is still valid. If it has been deleted, you may need to recreate it.
- System Logs and Messages: Review system logs and messages for any additional errors or warnings that may provide more context about why the assignment failed.
- Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on warehouse task and order management in EWM.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
