• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/L3854 - HU withdrawal with difference quantity is not possible with nested HU ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/L3854 indicates that there is an issue with handling unit (HU) withdrawal in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. Specifically, this error occurs when there is an attempt to withdraw a handling unit with a different quantity than what is available, and the handling unit is nested (i.e., it contains other handling units).
  Cause:
  
  Quantity Mismatch: The primary cause of this error is that the quantity being withdrawn from the nested handling unit does not match the quantity that is available in the parent handling unit.
  Nested Handling Units: When dealing with nested handling units, the system expects that the quantities are consistent. If you try to withdraw a quantity that is not available in the nested handling unit, the system will throw this error.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the EWM that are not aligned with the handling unit management processes.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Available Quantities: Verify the quantities available in the nested handling unit. Ensure that the quantity you are trying to withdraw matches the available quantity.
  Adjust Withdrawal Quantity: If the quantity you are trying to withdraw is incorrect, adjust it to match the available quantity in the nested handling unit.
  Review Nested Structure: If you are working with nested handling units, ensure that the structure is correct and that you are not trying to withdraw from a parent handling unit when you should be withdrawing from a child handling unit.
  Use Correct Transaction: Make sure you are using the correct transaction for handling unit withdrawal. Sometimes, using the wrong transaction can lead to such errors.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help notes related to handling units and nested handling units for any specific configurations or settings that may need to be adjusted.
  System Configuration: If the issue persists, consult with your SAP Basis or EWM configuration team to ensure that the system settings are correctly configured for handling unit management.
