• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/PUT_BIN_DET021 - HU data is inconsistent (source HU: &1 destination HU: &2) ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/PUT_BIN_DET021 indicates that there is an inconsistency in the handling unit (HU) data when trying to perform a putaway operation in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. Specifically, this error occurs when there is a mismatch or inconsistency between the source handling unit (HU) and the destination handling unit during the transfer of goods.
  Causes:
  
  Inconsistent HU Data: The source and destination HUs may have different attributes or statuses that are not compatible. For example, the source HU might be in a status that does not allow it to be moved or transferred.
  Missing or Incorrect HU Information: The handling units may not have the required information or may have incorrect data, such as weight, volume, or dimensions.
  System Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the EWM system that are not aligned with the handling unit management processes.
  Stock Type Issues: The stock type of the source HU may not match the stock type of the destination HU, leading to inconsistencies.
  User Authorization: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the operation on the specified HUs.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check HU Data: Review the details of both the source and destination HUs to ensure that all required fields are filled out correctly and that there are no discrepancies.
  Correct HU Status: Ensure that the status of the source HU allows for the transfer. If the HU is blocked or in a status that prevents movement, it needs to be corrected.
  Recreate HUs: If the HUs are found to be corrupted or have incorrect data, consider recreating them to ensure they are consistent.
  Review Configuration: Check the EWM configuration settings related to handling units and ensure they are set up correctly to allow for the intended operations.
  Check Stock Types: Verify that the stock types of both HUs are compatible and that the transfer is allowed between them.
  User Authorization: Ensure that the user performing the operation has the necessary permissions to access and manipulate the HUs involved.
  
  Related Information:

  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address known issues or bugs related to handling units in EWM.
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP EWM documentation for detailed information on handling unit management and troubleshooting common issues.
