• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message L3636 - Storage unit & is a mixed pallet ?

  The SAP error message L3636 indicates that the storage unit (SU) in question is a mixed pallet. This typically occurs in warehouse management scenarios where a storage unit contains items from different material types or batches, which can lead to issues with inventory management and stock handling.
  Cause:
  
  Mixed Pallet Configuration: The storage unit is configured to hold multiple materials or batches, which may not be allowed based on the warehouse management settings or the specific operation being performed.
  Warehouse Management Settings: The system may be set up to restrict certain operations (like picking, putaway, or stock transfer) on mixed pallets.
  Stock Type Restrictions: Certain stock types may not be allowed to be mixed in a single storage unit due to business rules or inventory management practices.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Storage Unit Configuration: Review the configuration of the storage unit to determine if it is indeed a mixed pallet and whether this is acceptable for the operation you are trying to perform.
  Review Warehouse Management Settings: Check the settings in the Warehouse Management (WM) module to see if there are restrictions on mixed pallets. You may need to adjust these settings if mixed pallets are allowed in your business process.
  Separate the Items: If the operation you are trying to perform does not support mixed pallets, consider separating the items into different storage units or pallets that contain only one type of material or batch.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines regarding mixed pallets and how to handle them in your specific warehouse management processes.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like LT03 (Transfer Order) or LT12 (Confirm Transfer Order) to manage the storage units and their contents.
  Warehouse Management Configuration: Familiarize yourself with the configuration settings in the WM module, particularly those related to storage types, stock types, and handling units.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If your organization has custom logic implemented, check for any user exits or BAdIs that might affect how mixed pallets are handled.
  
  If the issue persists after checking these areas, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in warehouse management.
