  • Show details Hide details
  • What causes this issue?

    You have entered a document item that points to warehouse number &V1&
    and causes the warehouse activity &V2& to be initiated.
    The system should determine a processing time for this activity.
    For this purpose it is necessary to maintain constant or variable
    workload times for this warehouse number and for the
    <DS:DE.ARBVG>warehouse activities</> assigned to this warehouse process.
    However, this has not been done so far.
    These workload times also depend on the <DS:DE.METYP>unit-of-measure
    load category</> and the <DS:DE.LOGGR>logistics load category</>.
    For the respective document item, the unit-of-measure load category &V3&
    was derived from the unit of measure and the logistics load category
    &V4& was derived from the material.

    System Response

    The processing time cannot be determined and is therefore not updated.

  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VO207 - Warehouse &: no workload times maintained for process & ?

    SAP Error Message:
    VO207 Warehouse &: no workload times maintained for process &


    Meaning / Cause

    This error occurs in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) or Warehouse Management (WM) when the system tries to calculate or plan workload times for a specific warehouse and process, but it cannot find any workload time data maintained for that combination.

    • Warehouse &: The warehouse number or identifier.
    • Process &: The warehouse process (e.g., putaway, picking, packing) for which workload times are missing.

    Workload times are essential for capacity planning, resource scheduling, and workload distribution in warehouse processes. If these times are not maintained, the system cannot estimate how long a process will take, leading to this error.


    Where is this maintained?

    Workload times are typically maintained in the customizing settings for warehouse processes. In SAP EWM, this is done in the IMG under:

    • SPRO ? Extended Warehouse Management ? Cross-Process Settings ? Workload and Resource Management ? Define Workload Times

    Or in older WM systems:

    • SPRO ? Logistics Execution ? Warehouse Management ? Interfaces ? Define Workload Times

    Solution

    1. Check the Warehouse and Process:

      • Identify the warehouse number and the process for which the error occurs.
      • Confirm that the warehouse and process are correctly configured.
    2. Maintain Workload Times:

      • Go to the IMG path mentioned above.
      • Maintain the workload times for the specific warehouse and process.
      • Workload times are usually entered as time per unit (e.g., minutes per handling unit or per activity).
    3. Verify Process Types:

      • Ensure that the process type used in the warehouse task or warehouse order corresponds to the workload time maintained.
    4. Transport and Testing:

      • After maintaining workload times, transport the changes if necessary.
      • Test the process again to confirm the error is resolved.

    Additional Information

    • Workload times are used by the system to calculate the expected duration of warehouse tasks and to plan resources efficiently.
    • Missing workload times can affect resource scheduling, capacity planning, and performance monitoring.
    • If you are using resource management or work center scheduling, workload times are critical.
    • Sometimes, this error can also appear if a custom process or a new warehouse process is introduced but workload times were not maintained for it.

    Summary

    Aspect Details
    Cause No workload times maintained for the specified warehouse and warehouse process.
    Effect System cannot calculate workload or plan resources for the process, causing error VO207.
    Solution Maintain workload times in SPRO for the warehouse and process causing the error.
    Transaction SPRO ? EWM ? Cross-Process Settings ? Workload and Resource Management ? Define Workload Times

    If you need further help, please provide the warehouse number and process code, and I can guide you through the exact customizing steps.
