• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/CORE081 - Don't create WT for HU &1; create WT for highest-level HU instead ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/CORE081 indicates that the system is preventing the creation of a Warehouse Task (WT) for a Handling Unit (HU) because it is not the highest-level HU. Instead, the system suggests creating a WT for the highest-level HU associated with it.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when:
  
  You are trying to create a Warehouse Task for a lower-level Handling Unit (HU) that is part of a higher-level HU.
  The system is designed to manage inventory and tasks at the highest level of handling units to ensure proper handling and tracking of goods.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Identify the Highest-Level HU: Determine which HU is the highest level in the hierarchy. You can do this by checking the handling unit structure in the system.
  
  
  Create WT for the Highest-Level HU: Instead of trying to create a WT for the lower-level HU, create the WT for the highest-level HU. This can usually be done through the Warehouse Management (WM) or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) transaction codes.
  
  
  Review Handling Unit Structure: If you need to work with the lower-level HUs, ensure that you understand the handling unit structure and how they are nested. You may need to adjust your processes to work with the highest-level HUs.
  
  
  Check Configuration: If this behavior is not expected, review the configuration settings in your EWM system. Ensure that the handling unit management settings align with your business processes.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on handling units and warehouse tasks.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Handling Units (HUs): In SAP EWM, HUs are used to manage and track inventory. They can be nested, meaning that a higher-level HU can contain one or more lower-level HUs.
  Warehouse Tasks (WTs): WTs are created to manage the movement of goods within the warehouse. They are linked to specific HUs and are essential for efficient warehouse operations.
  SAP Notes and Support: If the issue persists or if you need further assistance, consider checking SAP Notes or reaching out to SAP Support for guidance specific to your system configuration.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and continue with your warehouse operations effectively.
