• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/PSA017 - Warehouse process type for clearing PSA is not unique for bin &1 ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/PSA017 indicates that there is a problem with the warehouse process type configuration for clearing the Production Supply Area (PSA) in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. Specifically, it means that the system has found multiple warehouse process types that are configured for the same bin, which leads to ambiguity in processing.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Unique Configuration: The primary cause of this error is that there are multiple warehouse process types assigned to the same storage bin for clearing the PSA. This can happen if the configuration settings in the EWM system are not set up correctly.
  Incorrect Master Data: There may be issues with the master data setup, such as incorrect assignment of process types to bins or incorrect settings in the warehouse process type configuration.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Warehouse Process Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the EWM configuration settings and navigate to the section where warehouse process types are defined.
  Ensure that each storage bin has a unique warehouse process type assigned for clearing the PSA. If there are duplicates, you will need to modify the configuration to ensure uniqueness.
  
  
  
  Review Bin Master Data:
  
  Check the master data for the bins in question. Ensure that the correct warehouse process types are assigned and that there are no overlaps.
  You can use transaction codes like /SCWM/PRDI (for bin master data) to review and edit the bin settings.
  
  
  
  Adjust Process Type Settings:
  
  If necessary, create new warehouse process types or modify existing ones to ensure that they are uniquely assigned to the relevant bins.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform a test to ensure that the error no longer occurs. Try to execute the process that was previously failing to confirm that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help notes related to warehouse process types and PSA configuration for additional guidance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in EWM, such as /SCWM/PRDI for bin management and /SCWM/PRT for process type management.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  EWM Configuration Guide: Review the EWM configuration guide for best practices on setting up warehouse process types and managing PSA.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue causing the /SCWM/PSA017 error message in your SAP EWM system.
