• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/MONITOR284 - Source storage type &1 does not allow movement to another bin ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/MONITOR284 indicates that a movement from a source storage type to another bin is not allowed. This typically occurs in the context of warehouse management within the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause
  
  Storage Type Configuration: The source storage type may be configured to restrict movements to other bins. This can happen if the storage type is set up for specific purposes, such as bulk storage or quality inspection, where movements are limited.
  Stock Type Restrictions: The stock type in the source storage type may not allow for movement to other bins. For example, stock in a quality inspection area may not be moved until it has been cleared.
  Warehouse Process Type: The warehouse process type associated with the movement may not permit the transfer of stock from the specified storage type.
  Bin Type Restrictions: The destination bin may have restrictions that prevent it from receiving stock from the source storage type.
  
  Solutions
  
  
  Check Storage Type Settings: Review the configuration of the source storage type in the SAP EWM system. Ensure that it is set up to allow movements to other bins if that is the intended behavior.
  
  Navigate to the storage type configuration in the SAP EWM customizing settings.
  Check the movement type settings and ensure that they allow for the desired movements.
  
  
  
  Review Stock Type: Ensure that the stock type in the source storage type is not restricted. If it is in a quality inspection or blocked stock, you may need to clear it before moving.
  
  
  Adjust Warehouse Process Type: If the warehouse process type is causing the restriction, consider modifying it to allow movements from the source storage type to the desired destination.
  
  
  Check Destination Bin Configuration: Verify that the destination bin is configured to accept stock from the source storage type. If there are restrictions, you may need to adjust the bin settings.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP EWM documentation for detailed information on storage type and bin configurations. This can provide insights into how to properly set up your warehouse processes.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists after checking the configurations, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance. They can provide guidance based on your specific system setup.
  
  
  Related Information
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like /SCWM/MON to monitor warehouse activities and identify issues related to stock movements.
  Customizing Settings: Access the customizing settings for EWM through transaction SPRO and navigate to the relevant sections for storage type and warehouse process type configurations.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If custom logic is implemented in your warehouse processes, check for any user exits or BAdIs that might be affecting the movement logic.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement the necessary changes to resolve it.
