• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/HU_WM029 - Merging of goods receipt date not allowed in storage type &1 ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/HU_WM029 indicates that there is an issue with merging goods receipt dates in a specific storage type. This error typically occurs in the context of warehouse management processes, particularly when handling handling units (HUs) and goods receipts.
  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when the system detects that there are attempts to merge handling units (HUs) or stock items that have different goods receipt dates in a storage type where such merging is not allowed. This can happen due to:
  
  Different Goods Receipt Dates: The handling units or stock items being processed have different goods receipt dates, and the storage type configuration does not permit merging of items with different dates.
  Storage Type Configuration: The storage type may be configured to prevent the merging of goods receipts to maintain inventory accuracy or for compliance reasons.
  Warehouse Management Settings: Specific settings in the warehouse management module may restrict the merging of goods receipts based on business rules.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Goods Receipt Dates: Verify the goods receipt dates of the handling units or stock items you are trying to merge. Ensure that they are the same if you intend to merge them.
  
  
  Review Storage Type Configuration: 
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the storage type in question.
  Check if there are settings that restrict merging based on goods receipt dates. You may need to adjust these settings if appropriate for your business processes.
  
  
  
  Adjust Warehouse Management Settings: 
  
  Review the warehouse management settings related to handling units and goods receipts.
  If necessary, consult with your SAP WM consultant to understand the implications of changing these settings.
  
  
  
  Separate Handling Units: If merging is not possible due to the different goods receipt dates, consider processing the handling units separately.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on handling this specific error message.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like /SCWM/PRDI (for processing inbound deliveries) or /SCWM/HU (for handling unit management) to manage your handling units and goods receipts.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If your organization has custom logic implemented, review any user exits or BAdIs that might affect the handling of goods receipts and merging processes.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to engage with your SAP support team or a consultant who specializes in SAP Warehouse Management for further assistance.
