When an inbound delivery is successfully distributed to SAP EWM but Warehouse Tasks (WTs) are not created, the issue is usually related to process configuration gaps or missing master data, even if everything appears correct at first glance.
Below is a systematic checklist based on real project experience.

🔍 1. Check Inbound Delivery Item Status

• Go to /SCWM/MON

• Navigate to the inbound delivery item

• Verify the status:

  • “Putaway Relevance” must be active

  • Delivery item must be released for warehouse processing

👉 If the delivery is not released, WT creation will not trigger.

🔍 2. Verify Warehouse Process Type (WPT)

Check whether the correct Warehouse Process Type is determined:

• Go to SPRO → EWM → Goods Receipt → Warehouse Task → Define Warehouse Process Type

• Ensure:

  • Putaway relevance is active

  • Correct stock removal/placement control is set

  • Confirmation control is not blocking WT creation

👉 Wrong or incomplete WPT is one of the most common causes.

🔍 3. Check Putaway Strategy & Storage Type Search

• Verify Putaway Strategy in:

  • Product master (warehouse view)

  • Storage type search sequence

• Ensure:

  • At least one storage type is found

  • Storage type allows putaway

  • No capacity or bin restriction blocks WT creation

👉 If no valid storage type/bin is found, WT will not be created.

🔍 4. Check Product Master Data

In /SCWM/MAT1, confirm:

• Putaway control indicator is maintained

• Storage section / storage type indicators are correct

• Handling Unit requirement matches the process

• Batch/SLED settings (if applicable) are consistent

👉 Missing or incorrect product master data often blocks task creation silently.

🔍 5. Check Warehouse Task Creation Settings

• Verify whether WT creation is:

  • Manual

  • Automatic

  • Triggered by PPF

• If PPF is used:

  • Check PPF action status

  • Ensure action is processed successfully

👉 If WT creation is set to manual, system will not create tasks automatically.

🔍 6. Check Queue & Warehouse Order Settings

• Ensure a valid queue is determined

• Check:

  • Queue assignment

  • Warehouse Order Creation Rules (WOCR)

• Incorrect queue determination may prevent WT processing.

🔍 7. Check Application Logs & Queues

Always check:

• SLG1 – Application logs for hidden errors

• SMQ1 / SMQ2 – qRFC queues for stuck messages

👉 Many WT creation issues are visible only in logs, not on the UI.

✅ Final Recommendation (Real Project Insight)

In most productive systems, WT not created after inbound delivery is caused by:

1. Incorrect or incomplete Warehouse Process Type

2. Missing putaway strategy or storage type

3. Product master data gaps

4. Delivery not released for warehouse processing

5. PPF or queue-related issues
