• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/LT068 - The character "/" is not allowed in defining the storage bin names ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/LT068 indicates that there is an issue with the naming convention of storage bins in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. Specifically, the error states that the character "/" is not allowed in defining storage bin names.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when a storage bin name is defined or modified to include the character "/", which is not permitted by the system. This restriction is in place to ensure that storage bin names are compliant with the naming conventions required by SAP EWM.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the storage bin names do not contain the "/" character. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Identify the Storage Bin: Determine which storage bin is causing the error. This may involve checking the configuration or the data entry that led to the error message.
  
  
  Modify the Storage Bin Name:
  
  Go to the transaction code for managing storage bins (e.g., /SCWM/LS01 for creating a storage bin or /SCWM/LS02 for changing a storage bin).
  Locate the storage bin that contains the "/" character.
  Change the name of the storage bin to remove the "/" character and replace it with an acceptable character (e.g., "_", "-", or simply removing it).
  
  
  
  Save Changes: After modifying the storage bin name, save the changes and check if the error persists.
  
  
  Review Naming Conventions: To prevent similar issues in the future, review the naming conventions used for storage bins in your organization. Ensure that all users are aware of the restrictions on characters that can be used in storage bin names.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal or the specific EWM documentation for guidelines on naming conventions and restrictions.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes for managing storage bins in EWM, such as /SCWM/LS01, /SCWM/LS02, and /SCWM/LS03.
  User Training: Consider providing training for users who create or manage storage bins to ensure they understand the naming conventions and avoid using restricted characters.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure compliance with SAP EWM's naming conventions for storage bins.
