• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/L3657 - Hazard rating 2 &1 is not supported in storage type &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/L3657 Hazard rating 2 &1 is not supported in storage type &2 typically occurs in the context of warehouse management, particularly when dealing with hazardous materials in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM). This error indicates that the system has detected a configuration issue related to the storage of hazardous materials based on their hazard ratings.
  Cause:
  
  
  Hazard Rating Configuration: The error arises when the system attempts to store a material with a specific hazard rating (in this case, hazard rating 2 or 1) in a storage type that does not support that rating. Each storage type in SAP EWM can be configured to allow or restrict certain hazard ratings based on safety regulations and warehouse policies.
  
  
  Storage Type Settings: The storage type settings may not be configured to accept materials with the specified hazard ratings. This could be due to safety regulations, warehouse design, or operational procedures.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Storage Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the storage type in SAP EWM.
  Verify the settings related to hazardous materials and ensure that the storage type is configured to accept the specified hazard ratings (1 and 2 in this case).
  
  
  
  Modify Storage Type Settings:
  
  If the storage type is not configured to accept hazard ratings 1 and 2, you may need to modify the configuration to allow these ratings. This can typically be done in the customizing settings under the warehouse management module.
  
  
  
  Use Alternative Storage Type:
  
  If modifying the storage type is not feasible or if it does not comply with safety regulations, consider using an alternative storage type that is configured to handle the required hazard ratings.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation related to hazardous materials management and storage type configuration to ensure compliance with safety standards and best practices.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, perform tests to ensure that materials with hazard ratings 1 and 2 can be stored without triggering the error.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on configuring hazardous materials in EWM.
  Training and Documentation: Ensure that warehouse staff are trained on the handling of hazardous materials and the specific configurations in SAP EWM.
  Safety Regulations: Always consider local safety regulations and guidelines when configuring storage types for hazardous materials.
