• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/LC1092 - Current weight is greater than the maximum weight ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/LC1092 Current weight is greater than the maximum weight typically occurs in the context of warehouse management, particularly when dealing with handling units (HUs) or storage bins in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM). This error indicates that the weight of the items being processed exceeds the predefined maximum weight limit for a specific handling unit or storage location.
  Cause:
  
  Exceeding Weight Limits: The primary cause of this error is that the total weight of the items being packed into a handling unit or stored in a bin exceeds the maximum weight limit set in the system.
  Configuration Issues: The maximum weight limit may not be configured correctly in the system for the specific handling unit type or storage bin.
  Incorrect Item Weights: The weights of the individual items may not be accurately maintained in the material master, leading to incorrect total weight calculations.
  Handling Unit Settings: The handling unit type may have specific weight restrictions that are not being adhered to.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Maximum Weight Settings:
  
  Review the maximum weight settings for the handling unit type or storage bin in the configuration. You can do this in the SAP EWM customizing settings.
  Navigate to the relevant configuration path: Logistics Execution -> Extended Warehouse Management -> Warehouse Management -> Define Handling Unit Types and check the weight limits.
  
  
  
  Verify Item Weights:
  
  Ensure that the weights of the materials being packed are correctly maintained in the material master. You can check this in the material master data under the basic data or sales views.
  
  
  
  Adjust Packing:
  
  If the current weight exceeds the limit, consider adjusting the packing strategy. This may involve packing fewer items into the handling unit or using a larger handling unit type that can accommodate the weight.
  
  
  
  Review Handling Unit Configuration:
  
  If the handling unit type is not suitable for the items being processed, consider creating or modifying a handling unit type that has a higher weight limit.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, test the packing or storage process again to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like MM03 to view material master data, HU02 to manage handling units, and SPRO to access the configuration settings.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for Extended Warehouse Management for detailed information on handling units and weight management.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If custom logic is required, consider implementing user exits or Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) to handle specific weight validation scenarios.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that your warehouse operations run smoothly.
