Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/LT174 - Putaway rule "blank" only allowed in stor.type sequence, not in stor.type ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/LT174 indicates that there is an issue with the putaway rule configuration in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. Specifically, the error states that a putaway rule that is blank (or not defined) is only allowed in a storage type sequence and not directly in a storage type.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when:
  
  A putaway rule is defined without specifying a storage type, and the system is trying to apply this rule directly to a storage type.
  The configuration of the putaway rules does not align with the expected settings in the system, leading to a conflict.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Putaway Rule Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for putaway rules in EWM.
  Ensure that the putaway rule in question is properly defined with the necessary storage types.
  
  
  
  Use Storage Type Sequence:
  
  If you intend to use a blank putaway rule, ensure that it is only applied within a storage type sequence. You may need to create or modify a storage type sequence that includes the blank putaway rule.
  
  
  
  Assign Storage Types:
  
  Make sure that all storage types that require a putaway rule have a valid rule assigned to them. If a storage type does not have a specific putaway rule, it should be part of a sequence that does.
  
  
  
  Review Warehouse Process Types:
  
  Check the warehouse process types associated with the putaway process to ensure they are correctly configured to handle the putaway rules.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the putaway process to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address known issues or provide additional guidance on this error message.
