• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message L1262 - Bin type cannot be deleted in stor.type & due to SUT check ?

  The SAP error message L1262 indicates that a bin type cannot be deleted in a storage type due to a SUT (Storage Unit Type) check. This typically occurs in the context of warehouse management when trying to delete or modify a bin type that is still in use or has dependencies that prevent its deletion.
  Cause:
  
  Active Assignments: The bin type you are trying to delete is still assigned to one or more storage bins within the specified storage type.
  SUT Check: The system performs a check to ensure that the storage unit type associated with the bin type is not in use or linked to any active processes.
  Open Transactions: There may be open transactions or stock movements that are still referencing the bin type, preventing its deletion.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Assignments: 
  
  Go to the storage type configuration and check if the bin type is still assigned to any storage bins. You can do this by navigating to the relevant configuration in the SAP system (usually in the SPRO transaction under Logistics Execution > Warehouse Management > Master Data > Define Storage Bins).
  
  
  
  Remove Assignments: 
  
  If the bin type is assigned to storage bins, you will need to remove those assignments before you can delete the bin type. This may involve reassigning the storage bins to a different bin type.
  
  
  
  Check for Open Transactions: 
  
  Ensure that there are no open transactions or stock movements that are using the bin type. You can check for open transfer orders, stock transfers, or any other processes that might be referencing the bin type.
  
  
  
  Review SUT Configuration: 
  
  If the issue is related to the Storage Unit Type, review the configuration of the SUT to ensure it is not linked to any active processes or assignments.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific steps related to your version of SAP, as the navigation paths and options may vary.
  
  
  
  Testing in a Development Environment: 
  
  If possible, test the deletion in a development or test environment to ensure that you understand the implications of the deletion and that it does not affect other processes.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may find it useful to use transaction codes such as LS01N (Create Storage Bin), LS02N (Change Storage Bin), and LS03N (Display Storage Bin) to manage storage bins and their types.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues or provide additional guidance on this error message.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to storage types and bin types in the system.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a consultant who specializes in SAP Warehouse Management for further assistance.
