  The SAP error message /SCWM/HU_WM164 indicates that there is an issue with mixed storage in a specific storage type and bin due to an entitled check. This error typically occurs in the context of Warehouse Management (WM) or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when trying to store different types of handling units (HUs) in the same bin, but the system has determined that the operation is not allowed based on the configuration or entitlement settings.
  Cause:
  
  Mixed Storage Configuration: The storage type or bin may not be configured to allow mixed storage of different handling units or product types.
  Entitlement Check: The system performs an entitlement check to ensure that the handling units being stored in the bin are allowed based on the configuration settings. If the handling unit does not meet the criteria, the operation will fail.
  Product Master Data: The product master data may have restrictions that prevent certain products from being stored together in the same bin.
  Warehouse Process Type: The warehouse process type associated with the storage type may have restrictions on mixed storage.

  Check Mixed Storage Settings: Review the configuration for the storage type and ensure that mixed storage is allowed. This can be done in the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide (IMG) under:
  
  Logistics Execution -> Warehouse Management -> Define Storage Types -> Mixed Storage.
  
  
  
  Review Entitlement Settings: Check the entitlement settings for the handling units and ensure that they are correctly configured to allow the intended products to be stored together.
  
  
  Product Master Data: Verify the product master data for the items involved. Ensure that there are no restrictions on the products that would prevent them from being stored together.

  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on mixed storage and entitlement checks.
  
  
  Testing: After making any changes, perform a test to ensure that the mixed storage operation can be completed successfully.
