• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DYNBIN043 - Storage bin &1/&2 is not a flexible bin (storage behavior <> 3) ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DYNBIN043 indicates that the storage bin you are trying to use is not configured as a flexible bin. In SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM), flexible bins are used to allow dynamic storage of goods, which means that the system can automatically determine the best storage location for items based on various factors.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  You are trying to perform an operation (like putaway or picking) in a storage bin that is not defined as a flexible bin.
  The storage behavior of the bin is not set to "3", which is the designation for flexible bins in SAP EWM.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Storage Bin Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code /SCWM/BT (Bin Type) or use the relevant configuration path in SPRO.
  Verify the configuration of the storage bin in question. Ensure that the storage behavior is set to "3" (Flexible bin).
  
  
  
  Change Storage Behavior:
  
  If the storage bin is not set to flexible, you may need to change its configuration. This can typically be done in the bin type settings.
  If you need to change the storage behavior, ensure that it aligns with your warehouse management strategy.
  
  
  
  Use a Different Bin:
  
  If changing the configuration is not feasible, consider using a different storage bin that is already configured as a flexible bin.
  
  
  
  Check Warehouse Process Types:
  
  Ensure that the warehouse process types you are using are compatible with flexible bins. Sometimes, specific process types may not support flexible bin operations.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP EWM documentation for more details on flexible bins and their configuration.
