• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/MFS083 - Deleting HU error only possible for start bin, end bin, or clarific. bin ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/MFS083 indicates that there is an issue with deleting a Handling Unit (HU) in the context of the Warehouse Management System (WMS) and the Material Flow System (MFS). This error typically arises when you attempt to delete a Handling Unit that is not in a valid state or location for deletion.
  Cause:
  The error message states that deleting a Handling Unit is only possible for specific types of bins:
  
  Start Bin: The bin where the handling unit is initially located.
  End Bin: The bin where the handling unit is supposed to be moved to.
  Clarification Bin: A temporary bin used for handling exceptions or clarifications.
  
  If you try to delete an HU that is not in one of these bins, the system will prevent the action and display this error message.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Bin Location: Verify the current bin location of the Handling Unit you are trying to delete. Ensure that it is in one of the allowed bins (start, end, or clarification).
  
  
  Move the HU: If the HU is not in a valid bin, you may need to move it to one of the allowed bins before attempting to delete it. This can be done through the appropriate movement type or transaction in SAP.
  
  
  Review HU Status: Ensure that the Handling Unit is in a status that allows for deletion. If the HU is part of an active process (e.g., being picked, packed, or shipped), you may need to complete or cancel that process first.
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize relevant transaction codes such as /SCWM/PRDI (for processing inbound deliveries) or /SCWM/PRDO (for processing outbound deliveries) to manage the handling unit appropriately.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on handling units and their management within the WMS/MFS context.
  
  
  Contact Support: If the issue persists after following the above steps, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert for further assistance.
