• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/LT140 - Mixed storage '&1' at HU level not supported in bulk storage ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/LT140 Mixed storage '&1' at HU level not supported in bulk storage typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when there is an attempt to manage handling units (HUs) in a way that is not supported by the system's configuration for bulk storage.
  Cause:
  
  Mixed Storage Configuration: The error indicates that the system is trying to use mixed storage at the handling unit level in a bulk storage area. In EWM, bulk storage areas are generally designed to store homogeneous products, and mixed storage at the HU level is not supported in this context.
  Handling Unit (HU) Management: The handling unit may contain multiple products or different batches, which is not allowed in bulk storage.
  Warehouse Configuration: The warehouse configuration may not be set up to allow mixed storage for the specific storage type or area being used.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Handling Unit Contents: Check the contents of the handling unit. Ensure that it contains only homogeneous products that are allowed in bulk storage.
  Adjust Warehouse Configuration: If mixed storage is required, consider adjusting the warehouse configuration to allow mixed storage in a different storage type that supports it, rather than in bulk storage.
  Use Different Storage Types: If you need to store different products together, consider using a storage type that supports mixed storage, such as shelf storage or pallet storage, instead of bulk storage.
  Check Storage Type Settings: Review the settings for the storage type in the EWM configuration to ensure that it aligns with your storage strategy and requirements.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP EWM consultant to understand the implications of mixed storage and how to configure your warehouse accordingly.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP EWM Documentation: Review the official SAP EWM documentation for detailed information on handling units, storage types, and mixed storage configurations.
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like /SCWM/PRDI (Product Master) and /SCWM/STOCK (Stock Overview) to analyze the products and stock in your warehouse.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on handling units and bulk storage.
  
  By addressing the configuration and ensuring that handling units comply with the storage type requirements, you should be able to resolve the error.
