• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/LC1037 - Storage bin &1 cannot be deleted due to open warehouse tasks ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/LC1037 indicates that a specific storage bin cannot be deleted because there are open warehouse tasks associated with it. This is a common issue in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when trying to manage storage bins.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that there are active warehouse tasks (WTs) linked to the storage bin you are trying to delete. Warehouse tasks can include picking, putaway, or other inventory movements that are still in progress or have not been completed. As long as these tasks are open, the system prevents the deletion of the storage bin to maintain data integrity and ensure that ongoing operations are not disrupted.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Open Warehouse Tasks:
  
  Use transaction code /SCWM/WT to view the list of open warehouse tasks.
  Filter the tasks by the storage bin in question to identify any active tasks.
  
  
  
  Complete or Cancel Warehouse Tasks:
  
  If there are open tasks, you can either complete them or cancel them if they are no longer needed.
  To complete a task, ensure that the necessary operations (like picking or putaway) are finished.
  To cancel a task, select the task and use the appropriate function to cancel it.
  
  
  
  Recheck the Storage Bin:
  
  After addressing the open tasks, attempt to delete the storage bin again.
  If there are no more open tasks associated with the bin, the deletion should proceed without issues.
  
  
  
  Review Task Management Settings:
  
  If you frequently encounter this issue, consider reviewing your warehouse task management settings to ensure that tasks are being closed or completed in a timely manner.
