• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/PI_APPL199 - Multiple units of measure of product &1 are not allowed on the same bin ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/PI_APPL199 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of a product in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system. Specifically, it states that multiple units of measure (UoM) for a product are not allowed in the same storage bin. This can occur when a product is set up with different units of measure, and the system is trying to store them in the same bin, which is not permitted.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Units of Measure Configuration: The product in question is configured with multiple units of measure (e.g., pieces, boxes, pallets), and the system is attempting to store different UoMs in the same bin.
  Bin Configuration: The storage bin may not be set up to handle multiple UoMs for the same product.
  Warehouse Management Settings: The settings in the warehouse management configuration may restrict the storage of multiple UoMs in a single bin.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Product Configuration: Check the product master data to see if multiple units of measure are defined. If they are not needed, consider consolidating them to a single UoM for that product.
  Adjust Bin Settings: If it is necessary to store different UoMs in the same bin, you may need to adjust the bin configuration to allow for this. This may involve changing the settings in the warehouse management configuration.
  Use Different Bins: If the product must be stored in multiple UoMs, consider using different bins for each UoM. This will prevent the error from occurring.
  Check Warehouse Process Types: Ensure that the warehouse process types are configured correctly to handle the storage of products with multiple UoMs.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific configuration settings related to units of measure and storage bins.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP EWM Documentation: Refer to the official SAP EWM documentation for detailed information on managing units of measure and storage bin configurations.
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like /SCWM/MAT1 to manage material master data or /SCWM/BIN to manage bin settings.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on configuration.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that your warehouse management processes run smoothly.
