• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/LT052 - Addition to exisiting stock must be permitted if using putaway strategy & ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/LT052 typically occurs in the context of warehouse management and logistics execution in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM). This error indicates that an addition to existing stock is not permitted under the current putaway strategy being used.
  Cause:
  The error can arise due to several reasons, including:
  
  
  Putaway Strategy Configuration: The putaway strategy configured for the storage type does not allow for the addition of stock to existing stock. This is often the case when the strategy is set to only allow full pallets or specific handling units.
  
  
  Stock Type Restrictions: The stock type or the handling unit type may have restrictions that prevent the addition of stock.
  
  
  Storage Bin Status: The storage bin may be in a status that does not allow for additional stock to be added, such as being full or blocked.
  
  
  Quantity and Unit of Measure Issues: There may be discrepancies in the quantity or unit of measure that prevent the addition of stock.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Review Putaway Strategy: Check the configuration of the putaway strategy assigned to the storage type. Ensure that it allows for additions to existing stock. You may need to modify the strategy or create a new one that permits this action.
  
  
  Check Storage Bin Status: Verify the status of the storage bin where you are trying to put away the stock. If the bin is full or blocked, you may need to clear the blockage or use a different bin.
  
  
  Adjust Stock Type: Ensure that the stock type you are trying to add is compatible with the existing stock in the bin. If necessary, change the stock type or handling unit type.
  
  
  Review Quantity and UoM: Make sure that the quantity and unit of measure for the stock you are trying to add match the existing stock in the bin.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP EWM consultant for specific configurations related to your warehouse setup.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, perform a test putaway to ensure that the error does not occur again.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to warehouse management, such as /SCWM/PRDI for putaway and /SCWM/PRDI for stock removal.
  Training and Documentation: Ensure that warehouse staff are trained on the putaway strategies and the implications of stock additions.
