• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/HU_WM024 - No mixed storage permitted in storage type &1. Maximum 1 HU per bin ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/HU_WM024 No mixed storage permitted in storage type &1. Maximum 1 HU per bin typically occurs in the context of warehouse management within the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error indicates that the storage type specified does not allow for mixed storage, meaning that only one Handling Unit (HU) can be stored in a single bin at a time.
  Cause:
  
  Storage Type Configuration: The storage type in question is configured to disallow mixed storage. This means that each bin can only contain one Handling Unit (HU) at a time.
  Handling Unit Management: The system is trying to place a new HU into a bin that already contains another HU, which violates the storage type's configuration.
  Warehouse Process: The warehouse process being executed (e.g., putaway, stock transfer) is attempting to place multiple HUs into a single bin.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Storage Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the storage type in SAP EWM.
  Verify the settings for mixed storage. If mixed storage is required, you may need to change the configuration to allow multiple HUs in a single bin.
  If mixed storage is not desired, ensure that the process being executed adheres to the configuration.
  
  
  
  Review Handling Units:
  
  Check the current contents of the bin where the error occurred. If there is already an HU present, you may need to either:
  
  Move the existing HU to another bin.
  Consolidate the HUs if applicable.
  
  
  
  
  
  Adjust Warehouse Processes:
  
  If the process being executed is not compatible with the storage type's restrictions, consider adjusting the process. For example, ensure that the system is not trying to place multiple HUs into a single bin.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP EWM administrator for specific guidelines on handling HUs and storage types.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Handling Units (HUs): In SAP EWM, HUs are used to manage and track inventory. Each HU can represent a single item or a collection of items packaged together.
  Storage Type: A storage type defines how and where materials are stored in the warehouse. It includes settings for capacity, allowed storage conditions, and whether mixed storage is permitted.
  Warehouse Management Processes: Understanding the various processes in warehouse management (e.g., putaway, picking, stock transfer) can help in troubleshooting and resolving issues related to storage and handling units.
  
  If the issue persists after checking the above points, it may be beneficial to engage with your SAP support team or consult SAP notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
