Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/HU_WM108 - Addition to existing stock (&1) of diff. alternative UoM is not allowed ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/HU_WM108 indicates that there is an attempt to add stock to an existing handling unit (HU) that has a different alternative unit of measure (UoM) than what is currently stored in that handling unit. This situation typically arises in the context of warehouse management and handling units in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM).
  Cause:
  
  Different Alternative UoM: The handling unit already contains stock that is measured in a specific alternative unit of measure, and the new stock you are trying to add is in a different alternative UoM.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that restrict the addition of stock with different UoMs to the same handling unit.
  Stock Type or Status: The stock type or status of the existing handling unit may not allow for the addition of stock with a different UoM.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check UoM Consistency: Ensure that the stock you are trying to add to the handling unit is in the same alternative UoM as the existing stock. If they are different, you will need to convert the stock to the correct UoM before adding it.
  Create a New Handling Unit: If the stock cannot be converted to match the existing UoM, consider creating a new handling unit for the new stock.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings in SAP EWM related to handling units and alternative units of measure. Ensure that the system is set up to allow for the addition of stock with different UoMs if that is a requirement for your business process.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on handling units and alternative units of measure.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Handling Units (HUs): In SAP EWM, handling units are used to manage stock in a more efficient way, allowing for the grouping of items for storage and transportation.
  Alternative Units of Measure: These are used in scenarios where products can be measured in different units (e.g., pieces, boxes, pallets) and are important for inventory management.
  SAP Notes and Support: If the issue persists, consider checking SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. You can also reach out to SAP support for assistance.
  
  By addressing the UoM consistency and reviewing the handling unit configuration, you should be able to resolve the error and proceed with your stock management tasks in SAP EWM.
