  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VO001 - Warehouse &: No picking wave profiles exist ?

    The SAP error message:

    VO001 Warehouse &: No picking wave profiles exist

    typically occurs in the context of Warehouse Management (WM) or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when you try to create or process a picking wave, but the system cannot find any picking wave profiles assigned or maintained for the specified warehouse.


    Cause

    • No picking wave profiles are defined or assigned for the warehouse number you are working with.
    • Picking wave profiles control how picking waves are created and processed in the warehouse.
    • The system checks for these profiles during wave creation, and if none exist, it throws this error.
    • This can happen if:
      • The warehouse is newly created and wave profiles have not been set up yet.
      • The wave profile assignment was accidentally deleted or not maintained.
      • The warehouse number entered is incorrect or not linked to any wave profile.

    Solution

    1. Check Picking Wave Profiles:

      • Go to the SAP IMG (Implementation Guide) path:
        Logistics Execution -> Warehouse Management -> Picking -> Define Picking Wave Profiles
      • Verify if picking wave profiles exist for the warehouse in question.
    2. Assign Picking Wave Profiles to Warehouse:

      • Assign one or more picking wave profiles to the warehouse number.
      • This assignment tells the system which wave profiles to use when creating picking waves.
    3. Maintain Wave Profile Settings:

      • Ensure the wave profiles are properly configured with the necessary parameters (e.g., selection criteria, release strategies).
    4. Verify Warehouse Number:

      • Double-check the warehouse number entered during the wave creation process.
      • Make sure it matches the warehouse for which wave profiles are maintained.
    5. Transport Changes (if applicable):

      • If you maintain profiles in a development system, ensure they are transported to the production system.

    Related Information

    • Picking Wave Profiles control the logic and parameters for wave creation, such as:
