  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMB/MC_PB024 - Item &1 violates weight limit of assigned package ?

    The SAP error message /SCMB/MC_PB024 Item &1 violates weight limit of assigned package typically occurs in the context of SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) when dealing with packaging and shipping processes. This error indicates that the weight of the item being processed exceeds the weight limit set for the assigned package.

    Cause:

    1. Weight Limit Exceeded: The primary cause of this error is that the total weight of the item (or items) being packed exceeds the maximum weight limit defined for the package type assigned to it.
    2. Incorrect Package Configuration: The package configuration in the system may not be set up correctly, leading to discrepancies in weight limits.
    3. Item Master Data Issues: The weight of the item in the master data may be incorrectly maintained, leading to an incorrect calculation of the total weight.
    4. Packaging Hierarchy Issues: If there are multiple levels of packaging, the hierarchy may not be correctly defined, causing the system to miscalculate the weight limits.

    Solution:

    1. Check Package Weight Limits: Review the weight limits defined for the package type assigned to the item. You can do this by navigating to the packaging configuration in SAP and verifying the weight limits.
    2. Adjust Item Weight: If the item's weight is incorrectly maintained in the master data, update the item master data to reflect the correct weight.
    3. Reassign Package: If the current package cannot accommodate the weight of the item, consider reassigning the item to a different package type that has a higher weight limit.
    4. Review Packaging Hierarchy: Ensure that the packaging hierarchy is correctly defined and that all packaging levels are properly configured.
    5. Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific configuration settings related to packaging and weight limits.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like /SCMB/MC_PB for packaging management or MM02 for changing material master data.
