  The SAP error message /SCWM/PUT_BIN_DET004 Check for storage type &1 failed typically occurs in the context of warehouse management processes, particularly when dealing with putaway operations in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error indicates that there is an issue with the storage type configuration or the conditions for placing goods into a specific storage type.
  Cause:
  
  Storage Type Configuration: The storage type may not be properly configured to accept the type of goods being put away. This could be due to restrictions on the storage type, such as capacity limits or specific item types that are not allowed.
  Warehouse Process Type: The warehouse process type associated with the putaway might not be compatible with the storage type.
  Stock Type Restrictions: There may be restrictions on the stock type (e.g., unrestricted, quality inspection) that prevent the goods from being placed in the specified storage type.
  Storage Bin Status: The storage bin may be blocked or not available for putaway due to its status.
  Warehouse Management Settings: General settings in the warehouse management configuration may not allow for the putaway of certain items into the specified storage type.

  Check Storage Type Configuration: Review the configuration of the storage type in the EWM settings. Ensure that it is set up to accept the type of goods you are trying to put away.
  Review Warehouse Process Type: Ensure that the warehouse process type used for the putaway is compatible with the storage type. You may need to adjust the process type settings.
  Check Stock Type: Verify that the stock type of the items being put away is allowed in the target storage type. If necessary, change the stock type or adjust the storage type settings.
