• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/CORE021 - Required bin depth &1 of HU &2 checked against remaining bin depth &3 ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/CORE021 typically occurs in the context of warehouse management within the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error indicates that there is a discrepancy between the required bin depth for a Handling Unit (HU) and the remaining bin depth available in the storage bin.
  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when:
  
  The required depth of the bin for the Handling Unit (HU) is greater than the available depth in the storage bin.
  The system checks the dimensions of the HU against the dimensions of the storage bin, and finds that the bin cannot accommodate the HU due to insufficient depth.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Bin Configuration:
  
  Verify the configuration of the storage bin to ensure that it has the correct depth settings. You may need to adjust the bin's dimensions in the system.
  
  
  
  Review Handling Unit Dimensions:
  
  Check the dimensions of the Handling Unit (HU) to ensure that they are correctly defined. If the HU is larger than expected, you may need to adjust its dimensions or use a different bin.
  
  
  
  Adjust Stock Placement:
  
  If the bin is indeed too shallow for the HU, consider placing the HU in a different bin that has sufficient depth. You can do this by either relocating the HU or adjusting the stock placement strategy.
  
  
  
  Re-evaluate Warehouse Processes:
  
  Review your warehouse processes to ensure that the handling units are being created and managed correctly. This may involve training staff or updating procedures.
  
  
  
  System Settings:
  
  Check the system settings related to bin management and handling unit management. Ensure that the settings align with your warehouse operations.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on handling units and bin management in EWM.
