• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/L3514 - Remaining bin depth &2 of bin &3 is bigger than dest. logical position &1 ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/L3514 indicates that there is an issue with the bin depth in the Warehouse Management (WM) module, specifically in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) context. The message states that the remaining bin depth of a specific bin is greater than the destination logical position, which can lead to problems during the putaway or stock transfer processes.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Bin Configuration: The bin configuration may not be set up correctly, leading to discrepancies between the available space in the bin and the space required for the stock being moved.
  
  
  Logical Position Mismatch: The logical position (destination) where the stock is being moved to may not have enough capacity to accommodate the stock being transferred from the source bin.
  
  
  Stock Quantity: The quantity of stock being moved may exceed the available space in the destination logical position, even if the source bin has enough depth.
  
  
  Warehouse Process: There may be an issue with the warehouse process or rules that dictate how stock is moved and stored.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Bin Configuration: Review the configuration of the source and destination bins. Ensure that the bin depth and capacity settings are correct and that they align with the stock being moved.
  
  
  Verify Logical Position: Check the destination logical position to ensure it has enough capacity to accommodate the stock being transferred. If necessary, adjust the logical position or choose a different one with sufficient capacity.
  
  
  Adjust Stock Quantity: If the stock quantity being moved is too large for the destination, consider splitting the stock into smaller quantities that can fit into the available space.
  
  
  Review Warehouse Processes: Ensure that the warehouse processes and rules are correctly set up to allow for the movement of stock between bins. This may involve reviewing the putaway strategies and stock placement rules.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for additional guidance on handling bin depth and logical position issues.
  
  
  Contact Support: If the issue persists after checking the above points, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal IT team for further assistance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may want to use transaction codes like /SCWM/PRDI (for putaway) or /SCWM/PRDI (for stock transfer) to analyze the stock movements and configurations.
  EWM Configuration: Familiarize yourself with the Extended Warehouse Management configuration settings, particularly those related to bin management and stock placement.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address known issues or provide patches related to this error message.
