• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/MONITOR036 - You can't choose mixed bins; select fixed or non-fixed bins only. ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/MONITOR036 indicates that you are trying to select mixed bins in a warehouse management context, which is not allowed in certain operations. This error typically arises in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when the system is configured to restrict the use of mixed bins for specific processes.
  Cause:
  
  Mixed Bin Configuration: The warehouse is set up in such a way that it does not allow the use of mixed bins for the operation you are trying to perform. Mixed bins are bins that can hold different types of products, while fixed bins are designated for specific products.
  Process Restrictions: Certain processes in SAP EWM may only allow fixed or non-fixed bins, depending on the configuration and the type of operation (e.g., picking, putaway).
  Warehouse Management Settings: The settings in the warehouse management configuration may restrict the use of mixed bins for specific storage types or activities.
  
  Solution:
  
  Select Appropriate Bins: When prompted to select bins, ensure that you are only selecting fixed or non-fixed bins, as mixed bins are not permitted for the operation you are performing.
  Check Warehouse Configuration: Review the configuration settings in the SAP EWM system to determine if mixed bins are allowed for the specific operation. You may need to consult with your SAP EWM administrator or configuration team.
  Adjust Process Settings: If mixed bins are required for your operations, you may need to adjust the settings in the warehouse management configuration to allow for mixed bins. This may involve changing the storage type settings or the bin type settings.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP EWM documentation or help resources for guidance on how to configure mixed bins and understand the implications of using them in your warehouse processes.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP EWM Documentation: Check the official SAP Help Portal for detailed information on warehouse management settings and configurations.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SCWM/MON for monitoring and /SCWM/PR for managing processes.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the operations you are attempting, as restrictions may also be related to user roles.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to engage with SAP support or your internal IT team for further troubleshooting.
