• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DS_CORE086 - Slot capacity must be less or equal than &1 ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DS_CORE086 indicates that the slot capacity defined for a storage bin in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system is being exceeded. This error typically occurs during the process of putting away goods or during inventory management when the system checks the capacity of the storage bin against the quantity being processed.
  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when:
  
  The quantity of goods being put away exceeds the defined capacity of the storage bin.
  The storage bin has a maximum capacity set, and the current operation would violate this limit.
  There may be a mismatch between the expected quantity and the actual capacity defined in the system.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Storage Bin Capacity:
  
  Navigate to the storage bin configuration in the EWM system and verify the maximum capacity set for the bin in question.
  Ensure that the capacity is correctly defined according to your warehouse management requirements.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Quantity:
  
  If the quantity being put away exceeds the bin's capacity, consider reducing the quantity being processed to fit within the defined limits.
  
  
  
  Modify Storage Bin Configuration:
  
  If necessary, you can increase the capacity of the storage bin to accommodate larger quantities. This can be done in the storage bin master data settings.
  
  
  
  Review Slotting and Storage Strategies:
  
  Ensure that the slotting and storage strategies in place are appropriate for the types of goods being stored. You may need to adjust these strategies to optimize space utilization.
  
  
  
  Check for Existing Stock:
  
  Verify if there is already stock in the bin that is contributing to the capacity being exceeded. If so, you may need to relocate some of the existing stock to free up space.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for additional insights on managing storage bin capacities and resolving related issues.
