• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/LC1176 - Max.Numb.of HU's has to be a multiple of maintained Devisions (&2, &1) ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/LC1176 indicates that there is an issue with the handling unit (HU) configuration in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. Specifically, the error states that the maximum number of handling units (HUs) must be a multiple of the maintained divisions.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when you are trying to create or manage handling units in a way that does not comply with the defined configuration for the maximum number of HUs. The error message provides two parameters:
  
  &1: This represents the maximum number of handling units allowed.
  &2: This represents the division or the factor by which the maximum number of HUs must be divisible.
  
  The underlying cause could be:
  
  The configuration of handling units in the system is not set up correctly.
  The number of HUs you are trying to create or manage does not align with the required multiple of the defined divisions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Configuration:

  Adjust the Number of HUs:
  
  When creating or managing HUs, ensure that the number you are trying to use is a multiple of the defined divisions. For example, if the maximum number of HUs is 10 and the division is 2, you can only use 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10 HUs.
  
  
  
  Review Master Data:
  
  Check the master data related to the products and handling units to ensure that they are set up correctly and that there are no discrepancies.
