  The SAP error message /SCWM/MD104 Storage bin &1 with storage type &2 already exists typically occurs in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when there is an attempt to create a storage bin that already exists in the system with the same storage type. This can happen during various processes, such as creating storage bins through transactions or during data uploads.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Storage Bin Creation: The most common cause is that the storage bin you are trying to create already exists in the system for the specified storage type.
  Data Upload Issues: If you are uploading data (e.g., via LSMW or other data migration tools), there may be duplicate entries in the source data.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Storage Bins: 
  
  Use transaction code /SCWM/LS01 or /SCWM/LS02 to check if the storage bin already exists. If it does, you may need to use that existing bin instead of creating a new one.

  If the existing storage bin is not needed, you can delete it or modify it as necessary. Ensure that you have the appropriate authorizations to perform these actions.
  
  
  
  Data Validation: 
  
  If you are uploading data, ensure that your source data does not contain duplicates. Clean up the data before performing the upload.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
