  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/GOODS_MOVEMENT006 - Delivery &1, item &2: unpacked quantity (GI via HU not possible). ?

    The SAP error message /SCWM/GOODS_MOVEMENT006 indicates that there is an issue with the goods movement process in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system. Specifically, the message states that the unpacked quantity for a delivery item cannot be processed because a goods issue (GI) via Handling Unit (HU) is not possible.

    Cause:

    This error typically occurs due to one or more of the following reasons:

    1. Unpacked Quantity: The system is trying to process a goods issue for a quantity that is not packed in a Handling Unit. If the delivery item is expected to be processed via HUs, but the quantity is unpacked, the system will raise this error.

    2. Handling Unit Configuration: There may be a configuration issue with the handling units or the way they are set up in the system. If the handling unit is not properly defined or if the item is not assigned to a handling unit, this error can occur.

    3. Delivery Item Status: The status of the delivery item may not allow for a goods issue. For example, if the item is already partially delivered or if there are restrictions on the item.

    4. Stock Type: The stock type of the item may not allow for a goods issue via handling units. For example, if the stock is in a blocked or quality inspection status.

    Solution:

    To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:

    1. Check Handling Units: Verify that the delivery item is properly packed in a handling unit. If it is unpacked, you may need to pack it into a handling unit before proceeding with the goods issue.

    2. Review Delivery Item Status: Check the status of the delivery item in the system. Ensure that it is in a state that allows for a goods issue.

    3. Inspect Configuration: Review the configuration settings for handling units in your SAP EWM system. Ensure that the handling units are correctly defined and that the items are assigned to them.

    4. Stock Type Verification: Check the stock type of the item. If it is in a restricted stock type, you may need to move it to unrestricted stock before performing the goods issue.

    5. Use Transaction Codes: Utilize relevant transaction codes such as /SCWM/PRDI (for packing) or /SCWM/GR (for goods receipt) to manage handling units and stock.

    6. Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on handling units and goods movement processes.

    Related Information:

    • Handling Units (HUs): In SAP EWM, handling units are used to manage the physical handling of goods. They can represent pallets, boxes, or any other type of packaging.
    • Goods Movement: This refers to the movement of goods within the warehouse, including goods receipts, goods issues, and transfers.
    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to handling units and goods movement.

    If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a technical consultant who specializes in SAP EWM for further assistance.
