The SAP error message
/SCWM/HU_WM018 Cannot find quant quantity for material item for HU &1
typically occurs in the context of handling units (HUs) in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error indicates that the system is unable to find the quant (storage bin quantity) for the specified material item associated with the handling unit (HU).Causes:
- Missing Quant Entry: The quant for the material item in the specified storage location may not exist. This can happen if the material has not been put away into the warehouse or if it has been removed.
- Incorrect Storage Location: The handling unit may be associated with a storage location that does not have the material item stored.
- Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the database, such as missing or incorrect entries in the stock tables.
- HU Status: The handling unit may be in a status that does not allow for stock determination or quant retrieval.
- Material Master Data Issues: The material may not be properly set up in the system, or it may not be active in the relevant storage location.
Solutions:
- Check Quant Entries: Verify if there are quant entries for the material in the relevant storage location. You can do this by using transaction codes like
LX02
(Display Quants) to see if the material is available in the specified bin.- Put Away the Material: If the material is not in stock, ensure that it is properly put away into the warehouse. This may involve receiving the material and performing the putaway process.
- Review Handling Unit Status: Check the status of the handling unit to ensure it is not in a state that prevents stock determination. You can use transaction
HU02
to display and manage handling units.- Check Material Master Data: Ensure that the material is correctly set up in the material master and is active in the relevant storage location.
- Reprocess Stock Data: If there are inconsistencies, you may need to run background jobs or reports to reprocess stock data and ensure that the quant information is updated.
- Consult Logs: Check the application logs for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about the issue.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
