• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WT801 - Online processing not allowed ?

  The SAP error message WT801 - Online processing not allowed typically occurs in the context of Warehouse Management (WM) or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when an operation that requires online processing is attempted but the system or the warehouse is not configured or allowed to process it online.
  
  Cause
  
  Online processing is disabled or not allowed for the warehouse number or the specific warehouse task.
  The system or warehouse is set up for background processing only (e.g., via batch jobs or RF devices working in offline mode).
  The warehouse or storage type is configured to disallow online processing for certain transactions.
  The user is trying to perform an operation (like posting a warehouse task or transfer order) that requires online confirmation or processing, but the system settings or user authorizations prevent it.
  The warehouse task or transfer order is locked or already processed in a way that online processing is not possible.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Warehouse Settings:
  
  Go to transaction SPRO ? Logistics Execution ? Warehouse Management ? Interfaces ? Define Warehouse Number.
  Verify if the warehouse number is set to allow online processing.
  Check the settings for the storage types involved to ensure online processing is enabled.
  
  
  
  Check Warehouse Task/Transfer Order Status:
  
  Verify if the warehouse task or transfer order is already processed or locked.
  Use transaction LT21 or LT23 to check the status.
  
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Ensure the user has the necessary authorizations to perform online processing.
  Check roles and authorizations related to warehouse management transactions.
  
  
  
  Check System Settings for Online Processing:
  
  In some cases, the system might be set to process warehouse tasks in batch mode only.
  Check if the system parameter or customizing settings restrict online processing.
  
  
  
  Use Background Processing if Required:
  
  If online processing is not allowed by design, use background jobs or RF devices configured for offline processing.
