  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/HUGENERAL169 - Product &1 is too tall ?

    The SAP error message /SCWM/HUGENERAL169 indicating that "Product &1 is too tall" typically occurs in the context of warehouse management, particularly when dealing with handling units (HUs) in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM). This error suggests that the height of the product exceeds the allowable limits for the storage location or handling unit.

    Cause:

    1. Product Dimensions: The height of the product being processed exceeds the maximum height allowed for the storage bin or handling unit.
    2. Storage Bin Configuration: The storage bin may have specific height restrictions that are not compatible with the dimensions of the product.
    3. Handling Unit Configuration: The handling unit may have been configured with a maximum height that is lower than the height of the product being handled.

    Solution:

    1. Check Product Dimensions: Verify the dimensions of the product in the material master. Ensure that the height is correctly defined.
    2. Review Storage Bin Settings: Check the configuration of the storage bin to ensure that it can accommodate the height of the product. You may need to adjust the bin's maximum height settings.
    3. Adjust Handling Unit Settings: If applicable, review the handling unit configuration to ensure that it can accommodate the product's height. You may need to modify the handling unit type or create a new handling unit type with appropriate dimensions.
    4. Re-evaluate Product Placement: If the product is not suitable for the current storage location due to its height, consider placing it in a different storage location that can accommodate its dimensions.
    5. Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP EWM administrator for specific configuration settings related to product dimensions and storage bin parameters.
