• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/L3842 - Quantities or UoMs of PSHU &1 do not fit to HU &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/L3842 indicates that there is a mismatch between the quantities or units of measure (UoMs) of a product storage handling unit (PSHU) and a handling unit (HU) in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error typically arises during processes such as goods receipt, goods issue, or transfer postings when the system detects inconsistencies in the handling units.
  Cause:
  
  Quantity Mismatch: The quantity of the product in the PSHU does not match the quantity expected in the HU.
  Unit of Measure (UoM) Mismatch: The UoM of the product in the PSHU is different from the UoM defined for the HU.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be configuration issues in the handling unit management settings or in the product master data.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry errors during the creation or handling of HUs or PSHUs.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Quantities: Verify the quantities in both the PSHU and the HU. Ensure that they match as expected.
  Check UoMs: Confirm that the UoMs for both the PSHU and the HU are the same. If they differ, you may need to convert the quantities to a common UoM.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings in the EWM system related to handling units and product master data. Ensure that they are set up correctly.
  Correct Data Entry: If the error is due to manual data entry, correct the entries in the system to ensure consistency.
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize relevant transaction codes (like /SCWM/PRDI for product data or /SCWM/HU for handling units) to review and adjust the data as necessary.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on handling units and product storage handling units.
  
  Related Information:

  Unit of Measure (UoM): UoM defines how quantities of products are measured (e.g., pieces, boxes, pallets). It is crucial for inventory management and logistics processes.
