• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/CON147 - Maximum storage type quantity: no rounding possible. Pack. spec. missing ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/CON147 Maximum storage type quantity: no rounding possible. Pack. spec. missing typically occurs in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error indicates that there is an issue with the packing specification for a product when trying to store it in a specific storage type. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Missing Packing Specification: The error suggests that there is no packing specification defined for the product in question. Packing specifications are necessary for determining how products can be packed into storage bins.
  Storage Type Configuration: The storage type may have specific requirements for how quantities are handled, and if the packing specification is missing, the system cannot determine how to round the quantities appropriately.
  Product Master Data: The product master data may not be correctly set up, leading to issues with how the product is handled in the warehouse.
  Quantity Rounding Rules: The system may require certain rounding rules to be applied to the quantities being processed, and without a packing specification, it cannot perform this rounding.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Define Packing Specification:
  
  Go to the packing specification configuration in SAP EWM and create or update the packing specification for the relevant product. Ensure that it includes the necessary details such as dimensions, weight, and how many units can fit into a specific packing unit.
  
  
  
  Check Product Master Data:
  
  Review the product master data to ensure that all necessary fields are filled out correctly, including the packing information. Make sure that the product is assigned to the correct storage type and that the relevant data is complete.
  
  
  
  Review Storage Type Settings:
  
  Check the configuration of the storage type in question. Ensure that it is set up to handle the types of products you are trying to store and that it has the correct parameters for quantity handling.
  
  
  
  Rounding Rules:
  
  If applicable, review the rounding rules set up in the system. Ensure that they align with the packing specifications and the storage type requirements.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform a test to see if the error persists. Try to process the same transaction that caused the error to confirm that it has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
