• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VO060 - Select a picking wave ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VO060 - Select a picking wave
  
  Cause:
  The error message VO060 typically occurs in the context of Warehouse Management (WM) or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) during the picking process. It indicates that the system expects the user to select a picking wave before proceeding.
  A picking wave is a group or batch of warehouse orders that are released together for picking. The system requires the user to specify which picking wave to process, but no picking wave has been selected or the selection is missing/incorrect.
  Common causes include:
  
  The user is trying to execute a picking transaction without selecting a picking wave.
  The picking wave has not been created or released yet.
  The system configuration requires picking wave selection, but the user skipped this step.
  The picking wave number entered is invalid or does not exist.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Select a Picking Wave:
  
  When prompted by the system, select the appropriate picking wave from the list.
  Use the search help (F4) to find available picking waves.
  
  
  
  Create/Release Picking Wave:
  
  If no picking wave exists, create and release a picking wave in the system.
  In WM, use transaction codes like /SCWM/WAVE (EWM) or relevant wave creation transactions.
  
  
  
  Check User Input:
  
  Ensure the picking wave number entered is correct and valid.
  Verify that the picking wave is in the correct status (e.g., released) for picking.
  
  
  
  System Configuration:
  
  If picking waves are mandatory in your process, ensure that the system is configured accordingly.
  If picking waves are not used in your process, check if the system erroneously requires it and adjust configuration or user exit accordingly.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation/Support:
  
  Review SAP notes or documentation related to picking waves and the specific transaction you are using.
  If the issue persists, raise a support ticket with SAP, providing details of the transaction and error.

  SAP Notes: Search for SAP Notes related to VO060 for any known issues or patches.
  User Roles: Ensure the user has the necessary authorizations to view and select picking waves.
  
  
  Summary:
  
  The VO060 error means the system requires you to select a picking wave before proceeding with picking. Make sure a picking wave exists, is released, and is selected properly in the transaction. If picking waves are not part of your process, check system settings to avoid this prompt.
