• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/HUGENERAL072 - Process cancelled because allowed volume exceeded ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/HUGENERAL072 Process cancelled because allowed volume exceeded typically occurs in the context of warehouse management within the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error indicates that a process (such as a goods movement or a warehouse task) has been canceled because the volume of the items being processed exceeds the allowed volume for the storage bin or location.
  Cause:
  
  Volume Limit Exceeded: The primary cause of this error is that the total volume of the items being handled exceeds the maximum volume capacity defined for the storage bin or location.
  Configuration Issues: There may be incorrect configuration settings for the storage bin, such as the maximum volume allowed.
  Item Characteristics: The items being processed may have a large volume, and when combined, they exceed the allowed volume for the storage bin.
  Warehouse Process: The process being executed (like putaway, picking, or transfer) may not be properly aligned with the defined storage parameters.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Storage Bin Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration of the storage bin to ensure that the maximum volume is set correctly. You can do this in the SAP EWM configuration settings.
  If necessary, increase the allowed volume for the storage bin to accommodate the items being processed.
  
  
  
  Review Item Volume:
  
  Check the volume of the items being processed. If the items have a high volume, consider splitting the process into smaller batches that fit within the allowed volume.
  
  
  
  Adjust Warehouse Task:
  
  If the warehouse task is attempting to move too many items at once, consider adjusting the task to reduce the number of items or the total volume being moved in a single operation.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on managing storage bin capacities and handling volume-related issues.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making adjustments, test the process again to ensure that the error does not recur.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like /SCWM/PRDI (for inbound processing) or /SCWM/PRDO (for outbound processing) to manage warehouse tasks.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address known issues or provide additional guidance on this error.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If custom logic is implemented in your warehouse processes, review any user exits or BAdIs that may affect volume checks.
  
  By addressing the configuration and ensuring that the volume limits are appropriate for the items being processed, you should be able to resolve the error and continue with your warehouse operations.
