• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/L3261 - Only single handling units can be put away in storage type & ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/L3261 indicates that there is an issue with the handling units (HUs) being processed in the warehouse management system (WMS). Specifically, the error states that only single handling units can be put away in the specified storage type. This typically occurs in scenarios where the storage type is configured to accept only single handling units, but the system is attempting to put away a handling unit that contains multiple items or is a multi-HU.
  Cause:
  
  Storage Type Configuration: The storage type in question is configured to accept only single handling units. This means that it cannot accommodate handling units that contain multiple items or are grouped together.
  Handling Unit Structure: The handling unit being processed may contain multiple items or is a multi-HU, which is not allowed in the specified storage type.
  Warehouse Process: The process being executed (e.g., putaway) is attempting to move a handling unit that does not meet the criteria for the storage type.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Storage Type Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration of the storage type in the SAP system. Ensure that it is set up to accept the type of handling units you are trying to put away.
  If the storage type should accept multi-HUs, consider changing its configuration to allow this.
  
  
  
  Handling Unit Review:
  
  Inspect the handling unit that is causing the error. If it is a multi-HU, consider breaking it down into single handling units before attempting to put it away.
  Use the transaction code HU02 to manage handling units and check their structure.
  
  
  
  Adjust Putaway Strategy:
  
  If the putaway strategy is not aligned with the storage type's capabilities, consider adjusting the strategy to ensure that only single handling units are directed to the storage type in question.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific configuration settings related to handling units and storage types.
