• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/LC1034 - Storage bin &1 must only exist in one inventory area ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/LC1034 Storage bin &1 must only exist in one inventory area typically occurs in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error indicates that a specific storage bin is defined in more than one inventory area, which is not allowed in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Configuration: The storage bin has been assigned to multiple inventory areas in the system configuration.
  Data Migration Issues: If data has been migrated from another system or if there have been manual entries, it may lead to duplicate entries for the same storage bin across different inventory areas.
  Incorrect Master Data Setup: The master data for storage bins may not have been set up correctly, leading to overlaps.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Storage Bin Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for storage bins in EWM.
  Verify that the storage bin in question is only assigned to one inventory area.
  If it is assigned to multiple areas, decide which assignment is correct and remove the incorrect ones.
  
  
  
  Data Cleanup:
  
  If the issue arose from data migration, perform a cleanup of the storage bin data.
  Use transaction codes like /SCWM/PRD (Product Master) or /SCWM/LOC (Storage Bin) to review and correct the entries.
  
  
  
  Master Data Review:
  
  Review the master data for the storage bin and ensure that it is correctly defined.
  Check for any inconsistencies in the data that may lead to this error.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:

  Related Information:
  
  Inventory Areas: In SAP EWM, inventory areas are used to manage stock in different physical locations within a warehouse. Each storage bin should be uniquely assigned to one inventory area to avoid confusion and ensure accurate inventory management.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes for managing storage bins and inventory areas, such as /SCWM/LOC for storage bin management.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a consultant who specializes in SAP EWM for further assistance.
