• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/MONITOR084 - The dragged object and the target node do not fit ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/MONITOR084 ("The dragged object and the target node do not fit") typically occurs in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system when you attempt to move or drag an object (such as a handling unit, stock, or task) to a target node (like a storage bin or location) that is not compatible with the dragged object. This can happen for several reasons, including:
  Causes:
  
  
  Incompatible Object Types: The object you are trying to move may not be of the same type or category as the target node. For example, you might be trying to move a handling unit to a storage bin that only accepts pallets.
  
  
  Storage Bin Restrictions: The target storage bin may have restrictions or characteristics that prevent the object from being placed there. This could include size limitations, weight restrictions, or specific storage conditions (e.g., temperature-controlled).
  
  
  Stock Type Mismatch: The stock type of the object being dragged may not match the stock type allowed in the target node. For instance, if the target node is designated for finished goods, you cannot move raw materials there.
  
  
  Warehouse Management Settings: There may be settings in the warehouse management configuration that restrict certain movements or placements of objects.
  
  
  Active Tasks: If there are active tasks or processes associated with the object or the target node, this could prevent the movement.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Compatibility: Verify that the object you are trying to move is compatible with the target node. Review the characteristics of both the object and the target to ensure they match.
  
  
  Review Storage Bin Settings: Check the settings of the target storage bin to ensure it is configured to accept the type of object you are trying to move. This includes checking for any restrictions on size, weight, or stock type.
  
  
  Adjust Stock Types: If there is a stock type mismatch, consider adjusting the stock type of the object or moving it to a different target node that accepts that stock type.
  
  
  Clear Active Tasks: If there are active tasks associated with the object or target node, resolve or complete those tasks before attempting the move again.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP EWM documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific configuration settings that may be affecting the movement.
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize relevant transaction codes (like /SCWM/PRDI for stock overview) to analyze the current status of the objects and nodes involved.
