• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/L1151 - Storage type & is not for block storage (new selection required) ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/L1151 Storage type & is not for block storage (new selection required) typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when there is an attempt to perform an operation that requires a specific type of storage type, but the selected storage type does not support block storage.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Storage Type Configuration: The storage type you are trying to use is not configured to support block storage. This can happen if the storage type is set up for different purposes (e.g., picking, bulk storage) that do not involve block storage.
  Warehouse Process Type: The warehouse process type being used may not be compatible with the selected storage type.
  Selection Criteria: The selection criteria for the operation may not match the characteristics of the storage type.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Storage Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the storage type in SAP EWM.
  Ensure that the storage type is configured to support block storage if that is the intended use.
  You can check this in the Customizing settings under Logistics Execution -> Extended Warehouse Management -> Master Data -> Storage Types.
  
  
  
  Change Storage Type:
  
  If the current storage type is not suitable for block storage, select a different storage type that is configured for block storage.
  You can do this in the transaction where the error occurred, by selecting a different storage type that meets the requirements.
  
  
  
  Review Warehouse Process Types:
  
  Ensure that the warehouse process type you are using is compatible with the storage type. You may need to adjust the process type or the storage type accordingly.
  
  
  
  Check Selection Criteria:
  
  Review the selection criteria used in the transaction to ensure they align with the characteristics of the storage type.
