• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/HUGENERAL149 - Maximum capacity was exceeded by &1 ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/HUGENERAL149 Maximum capacity was exceeded by &1 typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when the system detects that the maximum capacity of a storage bin, storage type, or warehouse is being exceeded. This can happen during various operations, such as goods receipt, stock transfer, or inventory management.
  Cause:
  
  Storage Bin Capacity: The storage bin has a defined maximum capacity, and the incoming goods exceed this limit.
  Storage Type Capacity: The storage type may have a defined capacity that is being exceeded.
  Warehouse Capacity: The overall warehouse may have a capacity limit that is being surpassed.
  Configuration Issues: There may be incorrect settings in the warehouse management configuration that do not align with the actual physical capacities.
  Incorrect Stock Management: There may be discrepancies in stock management, such as incorrect stock levels or unaccounted stock movements.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Capacity Settings: Review the capacity settings for the storage bin, storage type, and warehouse. Ensure that they are configured correctly according to the physical limits.
  
  Go to the relevant configuration in SAP EWM and verify the maximum capacity settings.
  
  
  
  Adjust Stock Levels: If the stock levels are incorrect, perform stock adjustments to ensure that the actual stock reflects the system's records.
  
  Use transaction codes like LX02 to check stock levels in the warehouse.
  
  
  
  Reorganize Stock: If the storage bin is full, consider reorganizing the stock to free up space. This may involve moving items to other bins or storage types with available capacity.
  
  
  Increase Capacity: If the maximum capacity is genuinely too low for your operational needs, consider increasing the capacity settings in the system.
  
  This can be done in the configuration settings for the respective storage bin or storage type.
  
  
  
  Review Inbound Deliveries: Check if there are any pending inbound deliveries that may be causing the capacity issue. Ensure that the deliveries are processed in a timely manner.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on capacity management in EWM.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as LX01 (Display Stock Overview), LX02 (Display Stock in Warehouse), and LT03 (Transfer Order Creation) for managing stock and capacity.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message for potential patches or updates that may address known issues.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If custom logic is implemented in your EWM system, review any user exits or BAdIs that may affect capacity checks.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
