• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/MFS367 - HU &1 depth &2 must be transferred before HU &3 depth &4 can be removed ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/MFS367 typically occurs in the context of handling units (HUs) in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module, particularly when dealing with the Material Flow System (MFS). This error indicates that there is a hierarchical relationship between handling units, where a parent handling unit (HU) must be processed or removed before a child handling unit can be removed.
  Cause:
  The error message /SCWM/MFS367 HU &1 depth &2 must be transferred before HU &3 depth &4 can be removed is triggered when:
  
  You are trying to remove a handling unit (HU) that is a child of another HU that has not yet been processed or removed.
  The system enforces a hierarchy where the parent HU must be dealt with before any of its child HUs can be removed.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Handling Units: Check the handling units mentioned in the error message. HU &1 is the parent HU, and HU &3 is the child HU that you are trying to remove.
  
  
  Process the Parent HU: Ensure that the parent handling unit (HU &1) is either transferred, removed, or processed as required. This may involve:
  
  Transferring the parent HU to a different location.
  Completing any necessary transactions related to the parent HU.
  
  
  
  Check HU Hierarchy: Use transaction codes like /SCWM/HU to view the hierarchy of handling units. This will help you understand the relationship between the HUs and confirm that the parent HU is indeed the one that needs to be processed first.
  
  
  Re-attempt Removal: Once the parent HU has been processed, you can then attempt to remove the child HU (HU &3) again.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the specific steps to take for your scenario, refer to the SAP EWM documentation or consult with your SAP support team for guidance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Handling Units (HUs): In SAP EWM, handling units are used to manage the physical packaging of goods. They can have a hierarchical structure, where one HU can contain other HUs.
  Material Flow System (MFS): MFS integrates warehouse management with automated material handling systems, ensuring that the flow of materials is efficient and controlled.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SCWM/HU, /SCWM/PR, and others that may help in managing handling units and their relationships.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully manage the handling units in your SAP EWM system.
