Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/GM055 - Storage type &1 allows maximum 1 HU per bin. GR to bin &2 not possible ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/GM055 indicates that you are trying to perform a Goods Receipt (GR) into a storage bin that is configured to allow only one Handling Unit (HU) per bin. This means that the bin you are trying to use is already occupied by another HU, and the system does not allow additional HUs in that bin.
  Cause:
  
  Storage Type Configuration: The storage type associated with the bin is configured to allow only one HU per bin. This is common in scenarios where bins are meant to hold single items or specific types of products.
  Bin Occupancy: The target bin (&2) is already occupied by another HU, which prevents the system from placing another HU in the same bin.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Bin Occupancy: Verify if the target bin is indeed occupied by another HU. You can do this by checking the bin's current contents in the system.
  Use a Different Bin: If the target bin is occupied, consider using a different bin that allows multiple HUs or is currently empty.
  Change Storage Type Settings: If it is necessary to allow multiple HUs in that bin, you may need to change the configuration of the storage type to allow more than one HU per bin. This requires access to the configuration settings in SAP.
  Remove Existing HU: If appropriate, you can remove the existing HU from the bin to free it up for the new HU. This should be done carefully to ensure that inventory records remain accurate.
  Consult with Warehouse Management: If you are unsure about the best course of action, consult with your warehouse management team or SAP administrator for guidance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Handling Units (HUs): In SAP, HUs are used to manage and track inventory at a more granular level. Each HU can represent a physical unit of goods, and the system can track them individually.
  Storage Type Configuration: The configuration of storage types can be managed in the SAP system under the Warehouse Management (WM) or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) settings. This includes defining how many HUs can be stored in each bin.
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like /SCWM/PRDI (for inbound delivery processing) or /SCWM/GR (for goods receipt) to manage and troubleshoot GR processes.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully perform the goods receipt operation.
