• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/PUT_BIN_DET055 - HU type &1 is not permitted for storage bin type &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/PUT_BIN_DET055 indicates that the handling unit (HU) type specified is not permitted for the storage bin type in the Warehouse Management (WM) or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error typically arises when there is a mismatch between the handling unit type and the storage bin type configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Mismatch: The handling unit type you are trying to use is not allowed in the specified storage bin type. This could be due to the configuration settings in the system.
  Storage Bin Type Restrictions: Certain storage bin types may have restrictions on the types of handling units that can be stored in them. For example, a bin designated for bulk storage may not accept handling units that are meant for shelf storage.
  Incorrect Handling Unit Type: The handling unit type being used may not be correctly defined or may not be compatible with the storage bin type.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for handling unit types and storage bin types in SAP.
  Ensure that the handling unit type is allowed for the specific storage bin type you are trying to use.
  You can check this in the Customizing settings under:
  
  Logistics Execution > Warehouse Management > Master Data > Handling Units > Define Handling Unit Types.
  Logistics Execution > Warehouse Management > Master Data > Storage Bins > Define Storage Bin Types.
  
  
  
  
  
  Modify Storage Bin Type:
  
  If necessary, modify the storage bin type to allow the handling unit type you are trying to use.
  This may involve changing the configuration settings to include the handling unit type in the allowed list for that storage bin type.
  
  
  
  Use Correct Handling Unit Type:
  
  If the handling unit type is incorrect, ensure that you are using the correct type that is compatible with the storage bin type.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation or help files related to handling units and storage bin types for additional guidance on configuration.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, perform a test to ensure that the handling unit can now be placed in the storage bin without triggering the error.
