• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/LC1035 - Storage bin &1 cannot be deleted, because of an existing HU ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/LC1035 Storage bin &1 cannot be deleted, because of an existing HU indicates that you are trying to delete a storage bin in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module, but the system has detected that there is an existing Handling Unit (HU) associated with that storage bin. 
  Cause:
  
  Existing Handling Units: The primary reason for this error is that there are one or more Handling Units (HUs) currently stored in the specified storage bin. HUs are used in EWM to manage inventory and track items, and they cannot be removed if they are still present in the storage bin.
  Open Transactions: There may be open transactions or processes that are still referencing the storage bin, preventing its deletion.
  System Configuration: The system may have specific configurations or settings that prevent the deletion of storage bins with existing HUs.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check for Existing HUs:
  
  Use transaction codes like /SCWM/HU or /SCWM/LS01 to check if there are any HUs currently assigned to the storage bin in question.
  If HUs are present, you will need to either move them to another storage bin or remove them from the system.
  
  
  
  Remove or Move HUs:
  
  If you need to delete the storage bin, you must first either remove the HUs from the bin or relocate them to another bin.
  You can use the Transfer Order (TO) process to move HUs to a different storage bin.
  
  
  
  Check Open Transactions:
  
  Ensure that there are no open transactions that are referencing the storage bin. This includes any ongoing picking, putaway, or inventory management processes.
  
  
  
  System Configuration:
  
  If you believe that the storage bin should be deletable despite the presence of HUs, check with your SAP administrator or EWM consultant to review the system configuration and settings.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed instructions on handling HUs and storage bins in EWM.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Handling Units (HUs): In SAP EWM, HUs are used to manage and track inventory items. They can represent single items or multiple items packed together.
  Storage Bin Management: Understanding how storage bins work in EWM is crucial for effective warehouse management. Each storage bin can hold HUs, and the system enforces rules to maintain data integrity.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in EWM for managing HUs and storage bins, such as /SCWM/HU, /SCWM/LS01, and /SCWM/TO.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully delete the storage bin if it is no longer needed.
