• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/L1262 - Bin type cannot be deleted in storage type & due to SUT check ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/L1262 Bin type cannot be deleted in storage type & due to SUT check typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when there is an attempt to delete a bin type that is still being referenced or used in the system. The error indicates that the bin type cannot be deleted because it is linked to a Storage Unit Type (SUT) check.
  Cause:
  
  Active References: The bin type you are trying to delete is still being referenced by existing storage bins or storage unit types in the system.
  SUT Check: The system has a check in place to ensure that certain configurations (like bin types) are not deleted if they are still in use, to maintain data integrity and avoid inconsistencies in warehouse operations.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check References: 
  
  Use transaction codes like /SCWM/BT (for bin types) or /SCWM/BIN (for storage bins) to check if there are any active references to the bin type you are trying to delete.
  Ensure that there are no storage bins or storage unit types that are still using this bin type.
  
  
  
  Remove References:
  
  If you find that there are active storage bins or storage unit types using the bin type, you will need to either delete or reassign those references to a different bin type before you can delete the bin type in question.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration settings in the EWM system to ensure that the bin type is not linked to any active processes or configurations that would prevent its deletion.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on managing bin types and storage unit types in EWM.
  
  
  
  System Authorization:
