  The SAP error message /SCWM/CON159 No fixed bins allowed in storage type &1 typically occurs in the context of warehouse management within the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error indicates that the system is trying to assign a product to a fixed bin in a storage type that does not allow fixed bins.
  Cause:
  
  Storage Type Configuration: The storage type in question (denoted by &1 in the error message) is configured not to allow fixed bins. This could be due to the settings in the warehouse management configuration.
  Product Assignment: The product being assigned may be set to use fixed bins, but the storage type does not support this feature.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Storage Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the storage type in SAP EWM.
  Verify the settings for the storage type and ensure that it is configured to allow fixed bins if that is the intended use.

  Review Warehouse Process:
  
  Check the warehouse process being executed to ensure it aligns with the storage type configuration.
  If the process requires fixed bins, consider using a different storage type that supports fixed bins.
