• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/PUT_BIN_DET022 - HU type check (storage type &1): HU type is initial ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/PUT_BIN_DET022 indicates that there is an issue with the handling unit (HU) type during a putaway process in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. Specifically, the error message states that the HU type is initial, which means that the system is unable to determine a valid handling unit type for the storage type specified.
  Cause:
  
  Initial Handling Unit Type: The handling unit type is not defined or is set to an initial value in the system. This can occur if the handling unit type is not configured properly in the system or if the handling unit is not created correctly.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the warehouse settings, such as missing or incorrect settings for handling unit types in the storage type or warehouse process types.
  Data Inconsistencies: There could be inconsistencies in the master data related to handling units, storage types, or the materials being processed.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Handling Unit Type Configuration:

  Ensure that the handling unit type is correctly linked to the storage type in question.
  
  
  
  Create or Update Handling Units:

  Check Master Data:
  
  Review the master data for the materials involved to ensure that they are set up correctly for handling units.
