• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/LT165 - Masked source and dest. stor. type only valid with inact. whse proc. type ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/LT165 Masked source and dest. stor. type only valid with inact. whse proc. type typically occurs in the context of warehouse management processes in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM). This error indicates that there is a configuration issue related to the warehouse process type and the storage types involved in a transfer order or warehouse task.
  Cause:
  
  
  Warehouse Process Type Configuration: The error suggests that the source and destination storage types are masked (i.e., they are not fully specified) and that this masking is only valid when using an inactive warehouse process type. This usually means that the warehouse process type you are trying to use does not allow for masked storage types.
  
  
  Inconsistent Settings: There may be inconsistencies in the settings of the warehouse process type, such as the configuration of storage types, which do not align with the expected behavior of the system.
  
  
  Active Warehouse Process Type: If you are using an active warehouse process type that does not support masked storage types, this error will occur.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Warehouse Process Type: Review the configuration of the warehouse process type you are using. Ensure that it is set up correctly to handle the storage types involved in your transfer order or warehouse task.
  
  
  Adjust Storage Type Settings: If you need to use masked storage types, consider changing the warehouse process type to an inactive one that allows for this configuration. Alternatively, specify the source and destination storage types explicitly instead of using masked types.
  
  
  Review Configuration: Go to the EWM configuration settings and check the following:
  
  The settings for the warehouse process type in transaction /SCWM/PRC1.
  The storage type definitions in transaction /SCWM/STOR.
  
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, test the process again to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for detailed information on warehouse process types and storage type configurations.
