• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/GM059 - Posting to bin &1 only allowed without handling unit ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/GM059 indicates that a posting to a specific bin is only allowed when there is no handling unit (HU) involved. This error typically arises in the context of warehouse management processes within SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when trying to perform a stock movement or posting to a bin that is configured to require handling units.
  Cause:
  
  Handling Unit Requirement: The bin you are trying to post to is configured to require handling units, but the system is receiving a request to post stock without an associated handling unit.
  Configuration Settings: The warehouse or bin settings may be configured to enforce handling unit management, which means that all stock movements to that bin must involve handling units.
  Incorrect Movement Type: The movement type being used may not be compatible with handling units, leading to this error when trying to post stock.
  
  Solution:
  
  Use Handling Units: Ensure that you are using handling units for the stock movement. If the bin requires handling units, you must create or assign a handling unit to the stock you are trying to post.
  Check Bin Configuration: Review the configuration of the bin in question. You can do this by navigating to the bin settings in the EWM configuration and checking if it is set to require handling units.
  Change Movement Type: If you are using a movement type that does not support handling units, consider changing to a movement type that does. You can check the movement type settings in the system to ensure compatibility.
  Review Stock Transfer Process: If you are performing a stock transfer, ensure that the process aligns with the handling unit requirements of the destination bin.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like /SCWM/PRDI (for posting goods receipt) or /SCWM/PRDO (for posting goods issue) depending on your specific scenario.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP EWM documentation for detailed information on handling units and bin management.
  Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting the SAP Community for further assistance.
  
  By addressing the handling unit requirements and ensuring that your stock movements align with the configuration of the bins, you should be able to resolve the error message /SCWM/GM059.
