• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/CONS_CHECK004 - Storage bin &1 should not be divided ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/CONS_CHECK004 indicates that a storage bin in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system is configured in a way that it should not be divided. This typically occurs when there are specific settings or conditions that prevent the storage bin from being split into multiple parts for storage or picking operations.
  Cause:
  
  Storage Bin Configuration: The storage bin may be configured as a single unit, meaning it cannot be divided into smaller sections. This is often the case for bins that are designated for specific types of products or have certain characteristics.
  Product Characteristics: The product being stored may have attributes that require it to be stored in a whole bin, such as hazardous materials or products that need to be kept together for quality reasons.
  Warehouse Process Type: The process type assigned to the storage bin may not allow for division. For example, if the process type is set to handle full pallets only, it cannot accommodate partial quantities.
  Stock Type Restrictions: Certain stock types (like blocked stock or quality inspection stock) may have restrictions that prevent the division of storage bins.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Storage Bin Settings: Check the configuration of the storage bin in the EWM system. Ensure that it is set up correctly according to your warehouse management strategy.
  Adjust Product Settings: If the product has specific characteristics that prevent division, consider whether these settings can be modified or if a different storage strategy is needed.
  Change Process Type: If the process type assigned to the storage bin does not allow division, you may need to change it to one that does, if appropriate for your warehouse operations.
  Check Stock Type: Ensure that the stock type in the storage bin allows for division. If it is set to a type that does not permit division, consider moving the stock to a different bin or changing its status.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP EWM consultant to understand the specific configurations and settings that may be causing this error.
