1 Him Answer

  1. This issue is commonly caused by RF framework configuration gaps or process inconsistencies. Below is a systematic troubleshooting approach based on real project experience.


    🔍 1. Check Warehouse Task Confirmation Status

    • Go to /SCWM/MON

    • Verify whether the WT is:

      • Fully confirmed

      • Partially confirmed

      • Reversed automatically

    • Ensure no follow-up WT is generated and left open

    👉 Stock will not update if WT confirmation is incomplete.


    🔍 2. Verify RF Logical Transaction & Screen Sequence

    • Go to /SCWM/RFUI

    • Check:

      • Logical transaction assigned correctly

      • Screen sequence includes confirmation screen

      • No screen is skipped due to incorrect control parameters

    👉 Missing confirmation screen can cause logical completion but no physical stock update.


    🔍 3. Validate Warehouse Process Type (WPT)

    • Ensure correct WPT is determined for RF picking

    • Check:

      • Stock removal strategy

      • Confirmation control

      • HU requirement settings

    👉 Wrong WPT may confirm WT without posting stock movement.


    🔍 4. Check Queue & Warehouse Order Creation Rules (WOCR)

    • Incorrect queue or WOCR may:

      • Delay posting

      • Assign WT to wrong resource

    • Reprocess and confirm again


    🔍 5. Inspect Posting Change & Stock Type Settings

    • Verify whether:

      • Posting change is required

      • Stock type (Available / Quality / Blocked) is changing

    • Incorrect stock type mapping can appear as “no update”


    🔍 6. Check RF User & Resource Assignment

    • Ensure:

      • RF user is correctly mapped to resource

      • Resource is active and logged on

    • Incorrect resource assignment may cause background rollback


    🔍 7. Application Logs & Queue Monitoring

    • Check:

      • SLG1 (Application Log)

      • SMQ1 / SMQ2 queues

    • Look for delayed or stuck updates


    ✅ Final Recommendation

    In most projects, this issue is caused by:

    • Incorrect RF screen sequence

    • Missing confirmation control in WPT

    • Resource not properly assigned

    Once RF flow and WPT are aligned, stock updates correctly in real time.
