• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WGDS_STORAGE_BUS084 - Cannot change processing state "&1" ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WGDS_STORAGE_BUS084 Cannot change processing state "&1"
  
  Cause
  This error occurs in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when there is an attempt to change the processing state of a warehouse task or warehouse order to a state that is not allowed or valid at that point in the process. The placeholder &1 in the message is replaced by the processing state that the system is trying to set but cannot.
  Typical causes include:
  
  Trying to change the processing state of a warehouse task or order that is already in a final or locked state.
  Business logic or user actions attempting an invalid state transition.
  Inconsistencies or conflicts in the warehouse task/order status due to parallel processing or system errors.
  Custom enhancements or user exits that incorrectly manipulate processing states.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Current Processing State:
  
  Review the current processing state of the warehouse task or order.
  Use transaction /SCWM/PRDO (Display Warehouse Orders) or /SCWM/PRDI (Display Warehouse Tasks) to check the status.
  
  
  
  Verify Allowed State Transitions:
  
  Confirm that the attempted state change is valid according to the warehouse process flow.
  Refer to SAP documentation or configuration for allowed processing states and transitions.
  
  
  
  Analyze the Context of the Error:
  
  Identify the exact process step or user action that triggers the error.
  Check if any custom code (user exits, BAdIs) is involved in changing the processing state.
  
  
  
  Correct the Process or Code:
  
  If the error is due to an invalid manual action, guide users to follow the correct process.
  If custom code is causing the issue, debug and adjust the logic to allow only valid state changes.
  
  
  
  Check for Locks or Parallel Processing Issues:
  
  Ensure no other process or user is locking the warehouse task/order.
  Avoid simultaneous updates that can cause inconsistent states.
