  The SAP error message /SCWM/LC1096 indicates that there is an issue related to fixed sorting in the Warehouse Management (WM) or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error typically arises when the system is trying to process a task or a document that has a fixed sorting indicator set, but the conditions for processing it are not met.
  Cause:
  The error message /SCWM/LC1096 is triggered when:
  
  A fixed sorting indicator is set for a warehouse task or a handling unit, but the system cannot fulfill the sorting requirements due to the current state of the warehouse or the items involved.
  There may be conflicts with the sorting rules defined in the system, or the items may not be in the expected state for the sorting to be applied.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:

  Review Sorting Rules:
  
  Check the sorting rules defined in the system. Ensure that they are correctly configured and that there are no conflicts that would prevent the sorting from being applied.
  
  
  
  Inspect Warehouse Conditions:
  
  Look at the current state of the warehouse. Ensure that the items involved are in a state that allows for sorting. For example, check if the items are available and not blocked or in a status that would prevent processing.
  
  
  
  Adjust Task or Handling Unit:
  
  If necessary, you may need to adjust the warehouse task or handling unit to remove the fixed sorting indicator or modify the sorting criteria to align with the current conditions.
