• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/LC1163 - &1 is not allowed for storage bin &2 with user status &3 ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/LC1163 indicates that a specific action is not allowed for a storage bin due to its user status. This error typically occurs in the context of warehouse management in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM).
  Cause:
  The error message /SCWM/LC1163 is triggered when you attempt to perform an operation (such as putaway, stock removal, or transfer) on a storage bin that has a user status that restricts such actions. The user status could be set to indicate that the bin is blocked, under maintenance, or otherwise not available for the requested operation.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Status: 
  
  Navigate to the storage bin in question and check its user status. You can do this through the transaction code /SCWM/LS01 (for storage bin maintenance) or by using the relevant EWM transaction.
  Identify the user status that is causing the restriction.
  
  
  
  Change User Status:
  
  If the user status is blocking the operation, you may need to change it. This can be done by:
  
  Using the transaction code /SCWM/LS01 to edit the storage bin and change its user status to one that allows the desired operation.
  If you do not have the necessary permissions, contact your warehouse management administrator or SAP support team to assist with changing the status.
  
  
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the user statuses are configured correctly in your system. Sometimes, the statuses may be set too restrictively, and you may need to adjust the configuration to allow for more flexibility.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation or help files related to user statuses and storage bin management for more detailed information on how to manage user statuses effectively.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, attempt the operation again to see if the error persists.
