  The SAP error message /SCWM/HU_WM172 Capacity check failed due to BAdI implementation typically occurs in the context of the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when there is a failure in the capacity check during handling unit (HU) processing. This error is often related to a Business Add-In (BAdI) implementation that is responsible for custom capacity checks.
  Cause:
  
  BAdI Implementation: The error indicates that a custom BAdI implementation is causing the capacity check to fail. This could be due to incorrect logic in the BAdI implementation that does not properly handle the capacity check for the handling units.
  Capacity Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of storage types, storage bins, or other related settings that affect capacity checks.
  Data Issues: There could be inconsistencies or missing data in the handling units or the warehouse structure that lead to the capacity check failing.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review BAdI Implementation: 
  
  Check the custom BAdI implementation that is being used for capacity checks. Ensure that the logic is correctly implemented and that it adheres to the expected behavior for capacity checks.
