• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/CARTONIZATION020 - Choose only one option for creation of PSHUs: picking or packing ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/CARTONIZATION020 indicates that there is a conflict in the system regarding the creation of Packaging Storage Handling Units (PSHUs). Specifically, it suggests that you need to choose only one method for creating PSHUs: either through picking or packing, but not both.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises when the system is configured to allow both picking and packing processes to create PSHUs simultaneously, which leads to ambiguity. The system requires a clear directive on which method to use for the creation of PSHUs to avoid conflicts in inventory management and handling unit processing.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to configure the system to specify a single method for creating PSHUs. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Check Configuration Settings: 
  
  Go to the SAP Easy Access screen and navigate to the relevant configuration settings for warehouse management or handling unit management.
  Look for settings related to PSHU creation and ensure that only one method (either picking or packing) is enabled.
  
  
  
  Adjust Process Settings:
  
  If you are using a specific transaction for picking or packing, ensure that it is set up to create PSHUs using only the selected method.
  You may need to consult with your SAP WM/LE consultant to adjust the settings in the system.
  
  
  
  User Training:
  
  Ensure that users are trained to follow the correct process for either picking or packing to avoid confusion in the future.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, conduct tests to ensure that the error does not reoccur and that PSHUs are created correctly based on the chosen method.
