I am facing issues where warehouse orders are not created as expected, and I believe WOCR configuration might be the reason.

I am looking for:

  1. Step-by-step configuration of WOCR
  2. Key settings involved (activity area, sort rules, limits, etc.)
  3. How WOCR impacts warehouse order creation
  4. Common mistakes done during configuration
  5. Real-time example for better understanding

Also, how to troubleshoot if WOCR is not working correctly?

In an SAP S/4HANA Embedded EWM system, Warehouse Orders are created successfully during outbound processing, but they are not automatically assigned to warehouse resources (pickers or forklift operators).

Issue Description

  • Warehouse tasks are created successfully

  • Warehouse Orders are generated

  • However, Warehouse Orders are not assigned automatically to resources

System Behavior

  • Warehouse Orders visible in /SCWM/MON

  • RF users logged into the system

  • Resources active and assigned to warehouse

  • No queue errors or system errors

Despite this, Warehouse Orders remain unassigned, and pickers cannot see tasks on their RF devices.

Questions

What are the most common reasons why Warehouse Orders are not assigned automatically to resources in SAP EWM?

Which configuration settings control Warehouse Order assignment to resources?

How can this issue be diagnosed step-by-step in a real project?

Which transactions or monitors should be checked first?

Looking for practical troubleshooting guidance from real SAP EWM implementation experience.

However, the WOs are not getting assigned to any warehouse resource automatically.

Issue Description:

  • Warehouse Tasks are created

  • Warehouse Orders are generated

  • Queue is determined

  • But no resource is assigned

  • RF users do not see any work in their queue

  • Manual assignment works

System Behavior:

  • No error message is displayed

  • WO status remains open

  • Resource is active and logged in

  • Queue appears correctly configured

Checks Already Performed:

  • Queue determination maintained

  • Resource group assigned

  • Warehouse Order Creation Rule (WOCR) verified

  • No short dump in system

  • No blocked queues in SMQ1 / SMQ2

Despite this, automatic WO assignment is not happening.

My Questions:

  • What are the most common reasons why Warehouse Orders are not assigned to resources automatically?

  • Which configuration settings influence WO-to-resource assignment?

  • How does queue, resource group, and activity area impact assignment?

  • What is the correct troubleshooting sequence in production?

  • Are there common settings that are usually missed?

Looking for a practical troubleshooting guide based on real project experience.

Business requirement:

  • Warehouse Orders (WO) should be created in such a way that workload is evenly distributed across available resources.

  • System should not assign multiple heavy WOs to the same picker while other resources are idle.

  • WO creation should consider:

    • Number of open tasks per resource

    • Resource capacity

    • Queue priority

  • If a resource is overloaded, new WOs should automatically be assigned to another suitable resource.

Current setup:

  • Queues are configured

  • Resource groups are maintained

  • WO creation rules are active

However, workload balancing is still not working effectively in practice.

Questions:

  • What is the best design approach in SAP EWM to balance picker workload during automatic WO creation?

  • Which configuration objects influence this behavior the most (queues, WOCR, resource groups, labor management)?

  • Are there any standard BAdIs or enhancements used in real projects to control WO assignment dynamically?
