Symptom
- When confirming a product warehouse task to a resource using the Warehouse Order and Task (A2X) API and specifying a DestinationHandlingUnit, the expected second warehouse task (resource → destination bin) is not created.
- The initial confirmation succeeds and the picked quantity is placed into the specified handling unit on the resource.
- The follow-up warehouse task from the resource to the final destination storage bin is missing.
- If DestinationHandlingUnit is left empty, the follow-up warehouse task is created correctly.
- No error message is returned by the API.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Assign a warehouse order to a resource.
- Create a handling unit on the resource using the Handling Unit API and (optionally) assign it as pick HU.
- Confirm the product warehouse task via Warehouse Order and Task (A2X) API, providing DestinationResource and DestinationHandlingUnit, while leaving DestinationStorageBin empty.
- Observe that no follow-up warehouse task (resource → destination bin) is created.
Cause
The automatic creation of the follow-up “resource → destination bin” warehouse task during confirmation via the Warehouse Order and Task (A2X) API is not supported when a DestinationHandlingUnit is provided.
Resolution
- Before confirming the product warehouse task into the pick handling unit, create a handling unit warehouse task for the pick handling unit using the warehouse task API.
- For multiple pick handling units, first confirm the product warehouse tasks into each pick handling unit.
- Create the follow-up handling unit warehouse tasks to move the pick handling units from the resource to the final destination bins; these tasks inherit the PWR reference from their contents.
- Optionally, use Split Warehouse Task to allow different users or resources to execute the final staging step in parallel.
As the specific function to create the follow-up “resource → destination bin” warehouse task during confirmation via the Warehouse Order and Task (A2X) API is current not supported in our product, if this would be a requirement to your company, we recommend voting for the feature request to enable automatic drop-off task creation in the A2X API.
Refer to: Influence request: automatic creation of drop-off tasks in Warehouse Order and Task (A2X) API.

If you want to pick products into a pick-handling unit (pick-HU) assigned to a resource, you need to create two requests: One request to confirm a pick warehouse task to a destination pick-HU in a resource, a second request to create an HU warehouse task to move the pick-HU to the destination bin.
