• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/L3036 - Mixed storage is not allowed in storage type & ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/L3036 Mixed storage is not allowed in storage type & typically occurs in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when you attempt to store different types of products in the same storage bin or storage type that does not allow mixed storage. This restriction is often set for specific storage types to maintain inventory accuracy, facilitate stock management, and ensure compliance with operational procedures.
  Cause:
  
  Storage Type Configuration: The storage type in question has been configured to disallow mixed storage. This means that only one type of product can be stored in that storage type or bin.
  Product Characteristics: The products you are trying to store may have characteristics that are incompatible with the existing products in the storage type.
  Warehouse Management Settings: The settings in the warehouse management configuration may not allow for mixed storage due to business rules or operational requirements.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Storage Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the storage type in question (Transaction code: SPRO).
  Navigate to the EWM settings and check the configuration for the specific storage type.
  If mixed storage is required, you may need to change the settings to allow mixed storage. This can be done by adjusting the "Mixed Storage" option in the storage type configuration.
  
  
  
  Use Different Storage Type:
  
  If mixed storage is not allowed for the current storage type and cannot be changed, consider using a different storage type that permits mixed storage for the products you are trying to store.
  
  
  
  Review Product Master Data:
  
  Ensure that the product master data is correctly set up and that the products you are trying to store are compatible with each other if mixed storage is allowed.
  
  
  
  Consult with Warehouse Management Team:
  
  If you are unsure about the implications of changing the storage type settings, consult with your warehouse management or logistics team to understand the operational impact.
  
  
  
  Check for Open Stock:
  
  Ensure that there are no existing stocks in the storage type that would conflict with the new stock you are trying to add.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP EWM documentation for detailed information on storage type configuration and mixed storage rules.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SCWM/PRDI for product master data and /SCWM/STOCK for stock overview.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to mixed storage and storage type configurations.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and manage your warehouse storage effectively.
