• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/HUGENERAL071 - Process cancelled because allowed weight exceeded ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/HUGENERAL071 Process cancelled because allowed weight exceeded typically occurs in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error indicates that a process (such as a goods movement, picking, or packing) has been canceled because the total weight of the items involved exceeds the predefined weight limit for the operation.
  Cause:
  
  Weight Limit Exceeded: The total weight of the items being processed exceeds the maximum allowed weight set in the system for that specific operation or handling unit.
  Configuration Settings: The weight limits may be configured in the system based on warehouse settings, handling unit types, or specific product characteristics.
  Incorrect Master Data: The weight of the products may not be correctly maintained in the material master data, leading to incorrect calculations during processing.
  Handling Unit Settings: The handling unit (HU) settings may have restrictions on the maximum weight that can be processed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Weight Limits: Review the weight limits set in the system for the specific operation. This can usually be found in the configuration settings for the warehouse or handling units.
  Adjust Handling Unit Configuration: If necessary, adjust the handling unit configuration to allow for a higher weight limit if it is appropriate for your operations.
  Review Material Master Data: Ensure that the weight of the materials involved is correctly maintained in the material master. This includes checking the net weight and gross weight fields.
  Split the Process: If the weight limit cannot be increased, consider splitting the items into smaller groups that do not exceed the weight limit and process them separately.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific configuration settings related to weight limits in EWM.
  
  Related Information:
