/SCWM/POHU034 - Details

• The SAP error message /SCWM/POHU034 Not all wave items could be packed by the algorithm typically occurs in the context of warehouse management, particularly when using the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error indicates that the packing algorithm was unable to pack all items in a wave due to various constraints or limitations.
  Causes:
  
  Insufficient Packing Resources: There may not be enough packing materials or containers available to accommodate all the items in the wave.
  Packing Constraints: The items may have specific packing requirements (e.g., size, weight, compatibility) that prevent them from being packed together.
  
  Configuration Issues: The packing algorithm may not be properly configured to handle the specific items or wave being processed.
  Item Characteristics: Some items may have characteristics that make them incompatible with the packing strategy (e.g., fragile items that cannot be packed with heavy items).
  Capacity Limitations: The packing station or containers may have capacity limits that are being exceeded.
