This error typically occurs in the context of Warehouse Management (WM) or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when trying to store different products in the same bin, but the system has identified a conflict based on the configuration or rules set for the storage type or the products involved.
  Cause:
  
  
  Product Compatibility: The products you are trying to store together may not be compatible according to the settings in the system. This could be due to product characteristics such as hazardous materials, temperature requirements, or other specific handling requirements.
  
  
  Storage Type Configuration: The storage type may be configured to disallow mixed storage for certain products. This is often set up to ensure compliance with safety regulations or to maintain product integrity.
  
  
  Bin Configuration: The specific bin may have restrictions that prevent it from being used for mixed storage. This could be due to the bin's characteristics or the products already stored in it.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Product Compatibility: Review the characteristics of the products you are trying to store together. Ensure that they are compatible for mixed storage. If they are not, consider storing them in separate bins.
  
  
  Review Storage Type Settings: Go to the configuration of the storage type in the SAP system and check the settings related to mixed storage. If necessary, adjust the settings to allow mixed storage for the specific products.
  
  
  Inspect Bin Configuration: Check the configuration of the specific bin to see if there are any restrictions that prevent mixed storage. If the bin is currently occupied, consider whether the existing product can be moved to another bin.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to Warehouse Management and mixed storage rules for further guidance on how to configure your system appropriately.
  
  
  User Exits or BAdIs: If your organization has specific business rules that need to be implemented, consider using user exits or Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) to customize the behavior of the system regarding mixed storage.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on mixed storage configurations.
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like /SCWM/PRDI (Product Master) and /SCWM/STRG (Storage Type) to review and modify product and storage type settings.
  Training and Documentation: Ensure that warehouse staff are trained on the implications of mixed storage and the specific rules that apply to your warehouse operations.
