• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/LT082 - HU requirement in storage type necessary for stock removal via pick point ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/LT082 indicates that there is a requirement for handling units (HUs) in a specific storage type necessary for stock removal via a pick point. This error typically arises in the context of warehouse management processes in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM).
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  The storage type from which you are trying to remove stock has been configured to require handling units for stock removal.
  The handling unit (HU) is either not specified, not available, or not suitable for the stock removal process.
  The stock removal process is attempting to pick items from a storage type that mandates HUs, but the system cannot find a valid HU to fulfill the request.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the /SCWM/LT082 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Storage Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the storage type in question and verify if it is set to require handling units for stock removal.
  If HUs are not necessary for your process, consider changing the configuration to allow stock removal without HUs.
  
  
  
  Verify Handling Units:
  
  Ensure that there are valid handling units available in the storage type from which you are trying to remove stock.
  Check if the HUs are in the correct status (e.g., not blocked or in a status that prevents stock removal).
  
  
  
  Review Stock Removal Strategy:
  
  Check the stock removal strategy configured for the storage type. Ensure that it aligns with your operational needs and that it allows for the removal of stock via pick points.
  
  
  
  Check Inventory Levels:
  
  Ensure that there is sufficient stock available in the storage type to fulfill the stock removal request.
  
  
  
  Use the Correct Transaction:
  
  Make sure you are using the correct transaction or process for stock removal that aligns with the handling unit requirements.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on handling units and stock removal processes in EWM.
