• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/MIGRATION084 - At least one bin contains non-numeric sorting value; resorting for &1 ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/MIGRATION084 indicates that there is an issue with the sorting values in the bins of the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system. Specifically, it suggests that at least one bin contains a non-numeric sorting value, which is causing a problem during the resorting process.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Numeric Sorting Values: The bins in your warehouse may have been assigned sorting values that are not purely numeric. This can happen due to incorrect data entry or legacy data that was migrated into the system.
  Data Migration Issues: If you have recently migrated data from another system or an older version of SAP, the sorting values may not have been properly converted to a numeric format.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the EWM that are not aligned with the expected data formats for sorting values.
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify Affected Bins: Use transaction codes like /SCWM/PRDI or relevant reports to identify which bins are causing the issue. Look for bins with non-numeric sorting values.
  Correct Sorting Values: Once you identify the bins with non-numeric values, you will need to correct these values. This can be done by:
  
  Manually updating the sorting values in the bin master data.
  Using mass change tools if there are many bins to update.
  
  
  Re-run the Resorting Process: After correcting the sorting values, re-run the resorting process to ensure that the bins are sorted correctly.
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings in EWM to ensure that they are set up to handle sorting values correctly. This may involve checking the settings for bin types and sorting criteria.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in EWM, such as /SCWM/PRDI for displaying and managing bins.
