• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/HU_WM034 - No batch mixing allowed in handling unit in storage type &1 ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/HU_WM034 No batch mixing allowed in handling unit in storage type &1 typically occurs in the context of warehouse management when dealing with handling units (HUs) that contain batches of materials. This error indicates that the system has detected an attempt to mix different batches of the same material within a handling unit, which is not allowed based on the configuration of the storage type.
  Cause:
  
  Batch Management Settings: The storage type is configured to prevent batch mixing. This means that only one batch of a material can be stored in a handling unit at a time.
  Handling Unit Configuration: The handling unit may already contain a batch of the material, and an attempt is being made to add a different batch to the same handling unit.
  Storage Type Characteristics: The characteristics of the storage type may be set to disallow batch mixing, which is common in environments where batch traceability is critical.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Handling Unit Contents: Verify the contents of the handling unit to ensure that it only contains one batch of the material. If it contains multiple batches, you will need to separate them into different handling units.
  Review Storage Type Configuration: If batch mixing is required for your business process, consider reviewing the configuration of the storage type in the Warehouse Management (WM) settings. You may need to adjust the settings to allow batch mixing, but be cautious as this may have implications for inventory management and traceability.
  Use Separate Handling Units: If batch mixing is not allowed and cannot be changed, ensure that you are using separate handling units for different batches of the same material.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific configuration settings related to batch management and handling units.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Batch Management: Understand how batch management works in SAP and the implications of batch mixing on inventory and traceability.
  Handling Units: Familiarize yourself with handling unit management in SAP, including how to create, manage, and process handling units.
  Storage Type Configuration: Review the configuration of storage types in your SAP system to understand the rules and settings that govern how materials are stored and managed in the warehouse.
