• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/L3778 - HU &1 is a CD HU and must not undergo final putaway ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/L3778 HU &1 is a CD HU and must not undergo final putaway typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when dealing with Handling Units (HUs) that are classified as "CD HUs" (which stands for "Consignment Stock Handling Units"). This error indicates that the system is preventing the final putaway of a handling unit that is designated as consignment stock.
  Cause:
  
  Consignment Stock: The handling unit (HU) in question is classified as consignment stock, which means it is owned by a vendor but is stored in the warehouse. The ownership of the stock does not transfer to the warehouse until it is consumed or sold.
  Final Putaway Restrictions: The system has rules in place that prevent the final putaway of consignment stock because it is not intended to be put away in the same manner as regular stock. Instead, it may need to be handled differently, such as being returned to the vendor or managed through specific consignment processes.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Handling Unit Status: Check the status of the handling unit to confirm that it is indeed a consignment handling unit. You can do this by using transaction codes like /SCWM/HU to display the handling unit details.
  Adjust Putaway Process: If the handling unit is meant to be processed differently, ensure that you are following the correct procedures for consignment stock. This may involve:
  
  Using a different transaction for handling consignment stock.
  Ensuring that the stock is either consumed or returned to the vendor as per the business process.
  
  
  Consult Configuration: If you believe the handling unit should not be classified as consignment stock, review the configuration settings in SAP EWM to ensure that the stock type and handling unit type are set up correctly.
  Check for Custom Logic: If there are any custom developments or enhancements in your SAP system, check if they are affecting the handling of consignment stock.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for Extended Warehouse Management to understand the handling of consignment stock and handling units.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SCWM/HU, /SCWM/PR, and others that may help in managing handling units and stock types.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform actions related to handling units and stock management.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in SAP EWM for further assistance.
