  The SAP error message /SCWM/PI_APPL060 indicates that a Handling Unit (HU) status was entered, but the associated storage bin is empty. This typically occurs in the context of warehouse management processes within SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM).
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect HU Status Update: The system is trying to update the status of a Handling Unit that is expected to be in a storage bin, but the bin is empty. This could happen if the HU was not properly moved to the bin or if it was removed without updating the system.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data, such as the HU being assigned to a bin that it is not physically located in.
  User Error: A user may have manually entered a status for an HU without ensuring that the HU is actually present in the specified storage bin.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check HU Location: Verify the physical location of the Handling Unit. Ensure that it is indeed in the storage bin that is being referenced in the error message.
  Update HU Status: If the HU is not in the specified bin, you may need to either move the HU to the correct bin or update the status of the HU to reflect its actual location.
  Reprocess the Movement: If the HU was supposed to be moved to the bin, reprocess the movement or transfer order to ensure that the system reflects the correct status and location.
  Review System Logs: Check the system logs for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about the issue.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific instructions on handling HUs and managing storage bins in EWM.
