If warehouse tasks (WT) are not getting created automatically in SAP EWM, it usually means there is an issue with configuration, master data, or process determination.

Even if the delivery is created, EWM will only create WT when all required settings are correct.

 Step-by-Step Troubleshooting

 Step 1: Check Delivery in EWM

Go to:

• /SCWM/MON

 Verify:

• Delivery exists in EWM
• Item status is correct

✔ If delivery is missing → issue is integration related

 Step 2: Check Warehouse Process Type (WPT)

Warehouse Task creation depends on WPT.

 Check:

• Correct WPT is determined
• WPT is assigned to the process (putaway/picking)

✔ Wrong or missing WPT = No WT created

 Step 3: Check Storage Type Search Sequence

System needs to find destination/source bin.

 Verify:

• Storage type search is maintained
• Valid storage types exist

✔ If system cannot find storage → WT not created

 Step 4: Check Activity Area

 Ensure:

• Storage bins are assigned to activity area
• Activity area is relevant for picking

✔ Missing activity area = WT creation fails

 Step 5: Check Stock Availability (For Picking)

 If outbound:

• Stock must be available in correct bin

✔ No stock = No picking WT

 Step 6: Check Queue (Important)

Go to:

• SMQ2

 Look for:

• Stuck queues
• Errors blocking WT creation

 Step 7: Check Logs

Go to:

• SLG1

 Enter object related to delivery or EWM

✔ Helps identify hidden errors

 Common Reasons (Simple)

• Missing or incorrect Warehouse Process Type
• Storage type search not maintained
• Activity area not assigned
• No stock available (for picking)
• Queue stuck or failed
• Incomplete master data

 Real-Time Example

In one project:

• Delivery was created
• No WT generated

 Root cause: Storage type search sequence missing

 Fix:

• Maintained search sequence
• WT created successfully

 Best Practices

• Always validate WPT during configuration
• Maintain proper storage type search
• Ensure master data (product, bin, stock) is correct
• Regularly monitor /SCWM/MON and SMQ2
• Test end-to-end process during setup

 Quick Tips

• First check: Delivery → WPT → Storage Type → Queue
• Don’t assume issue → always check logs
• Use /SCWM/MON filters to find missing WT

💬 Conclusion

Warehouse task not getting created is usually due to missing configuration or master data. A step-by-step check of WPT, storage type, and queues will quickly identify the issue.
