• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/GM086 - Existing HU &1 in stock - GI cancellation not possible ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/GM086 Existing HU &1 in stock - GI cancellation not possible typically occurs in the context of Warehouse Management (WM) or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when you attempt to cancel a Goods Issue (GI) for a Handling Unit (HU) that is still in stock. This error indicates that the system has detected that the specified Handling Unit (identified by &1) is still present in the inventory, which prevents the cancellation of the goods issue.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Stock: The Handling Unit (HU) you are trying to cancel the goods issue for is still present in stock. This means that the system recognizes that the HU has not been fully processed or removed from inventory.
  Incomplete Transactions: There may be other transactions or processes that are still linked to the HU, preventing the cancellation.
  Incorrect Status: The status of the HU may not allow for cancellation due to its current state in the system.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check HU Status: Verify the status of the Handling Unit in the system. Ensure that it is not in a state that would prevent cancellation (e.g., it should not be in a "picked" or "packed" status).
  
  
  Review Stock Levels: Check the stock levels for the HU in question. If the HU is still in stock, you may need to perform a stock removal or other necessary transactions to clear it from inventory.
  
  
  Complete Related Transactions: Ensure that all related transactions (such as picking, packing, or shipping) have been completed or reversed as necessary. If there are open transactions, they may need to be addressed before you can cancel the GI.
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize relevant transaction codes in SAP to check the status of the HU and related documents. For example, you can use:
  
  /SCWM/HU to display the Handling Unit.
  /SCWM/PR to check the status of the related processes.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling HUs and managing goods issues.
  
  
  Contact Support: If the issue persists after checking the above points, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert for further assistance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Handling Units (HUs): In SAP EWM, HUs are used to manage and track inventory at a more granular level. Understanding how HUs work and their lifecycle is crucial for effective warehouse management.
  Goods Issue (GI): A goods issue is a transaction that reduces inventory levels, typically when goods are shipped out of the warehouse. Understanding the implications of GIs on inventory management is important.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues or bugs related to this error message.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and take appropriate action to resolve it.
