• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/CON169 - Remaining volume after nesting: &1 % ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/CON169 Remaining volume after nesting: &1 % typically occurs in the context of warehouse management, particularly when dealing with the nesting of handling units (HUs) in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM). This message indicates that there is remaining volume in the parent handling unit after attempting to nest child handling units into it. The percentage value (&1) represents the volume that remains unutilized.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Volume: The parent handling unit does not have enough volume to accommodate the child handling units being nested.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the handling units may not align with the actual dimensions or volume of the items being nested.
  Item Dimensions: The dimensions or volume of the items being nested may not be correctly defined in the system.
  Nesting Rules: The nesting rules or logic defined in the system may not allow for the current nesting operation due to constraints.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Handling Unit Dimensions: Verify the dimensions and volume of both the parent and child handling units. Ensure that the parent handling unit has enough capacity to accommodate the child units.
  Adjust Nesting Configuration: Review the nesting configuration settings in SAP EWM. Make sure that the rules allow for the nesting of the specific handling units you are working with.
  Re-evaluate Item Properties: Check the properties of the items being nested. Ensure that their dimensions and volumes are correctly defined in the material master.
  Manual Nesting: If automatic nesting fails, consider manually nesting the handling units to ensure that they fit correctly.
  Review Warehouse Processes: Ensure that the warehouse processes and procedures are being followed correctly, and that there are no discrepancies in the handling unit management.
