• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VO036 - Select picking waves and/or deliveries ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VO036 - Select picking waves and/or deliveries
  
  Cause:
  The error message VO036 typically occurs in the SAP Logistics Execution (LE) module, specifically during the picking process in Warehouse Management (WM) or Sales and Distribution (SD) when you try to create or process a picking document (e.g., picking list, transfer order) without having selected any picking waves or deliveries.
  
  Picking waves are groups of deliveries or outbound deliveries that are combined for picking.
  The system expects you to select at least one picking wave or delivery to proceed.
  If no picking wave or delivery is selected, the system cannot determine what items to pick, hence the error.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During picking list creation or processing.
  When using transaction codes related to picking waves or delivery selection (e.g., VL06P, VL10, or custom picking transactions).
  When the user interface or selection screen requires you to select deliveries or waves but none are selected.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Select at least one picking wave or delivery:
  
  On the selection screen, ensure you mark or input at least one picking wave or delivery number.
  Use the search help (F4) to find available picking waves or deliveries if you are unsure.
  
  
  
  Check the selection criteria:
  
  Verify that your selection criteria (dates, shipping points, delivery types) actually return picking waves or deliveries.
  Adjust filters if no picking waves/deliveries appear.
  
  
  
  Check if picking waves exist:
  
  Confirm that picking waves have been created for the deliveries.
  If not, create picking waves first (using transaction like /SCWM/WAVE in EWM or relevant transaction in WM).
  
  
  
  Authorization and system status:
  
  Ensure you have the necessary authorizations to view and select picking waves/deliveries.
  Check if the deliveries are in the correct status for picking (e.g., confirmed, not yet picked).
  
  
  
  Technical checks:
  
  If the problem persists despite selecting deliveries, check for custom enhancements or user exits that might interfere with the selection.
  Review SAP Notes for any known bugs related to picking wave selection.
