• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/PUT_BIN_DET071 - Storage type &1: No putaway - max. storage type qty exceeded (current:&2) ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/PUT_BIN_DET071 indicates that there is an issue with the putaway process in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. Specifically, the error message states that the maximum storage type quantity for a particular storage type has been exceeded, which prevents further putaway of goods into that storage type.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the quantity of items that are already stored in a specific storage type exceeds the maximum allowed quantity defined for that storage type. This can happen due to:
  
  Configuration Limits: The maximum storage quantity for the storage type has been set too low in the system configuration.
  Incorrect Putaway Strategy: The putaway strategy may not be optimized for the current inventory levels, leading to attempts to put away more items than allowed.
  Inventory Management Issues: There may be discrepancies in inventory records, such as items not being properly removed from the storage type after being picked or moved.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Storage Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the storage type in EWM.
  Verify the maximum storage quantity settings for the affected storage type.
  If necessary, increase the maximum storage quantity to accommodate more items.
  
  
  
  Review Current Inventory:
  
  Check the current inventory levels in the storage type to confirm how many items are currently stored.
  If there are excess items, consider moving or picking some of them to free up space.
  
  
  
  Adjust Putaway Strategy:
  
  Review the putaway strategy being used for the storage type.
  Ensure that the strategy is appropriate for the current inventory levels and that it directs putaway to other storage types if the maximum quantity is reached.
  
  
  
  Perform Inventory Reconciliation:
  
  Conduct an inventory count to ensure that the system's records match the physical inventory.
  Correct any discrepancies found during the count.
  
  
  
  Monitor Future Putaway Activities:
  
  After making adjustments, monitor future putaway activities to ensure that the issue does not recur.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like /SCWM/PRDI (for putaway) or /SCWM/MON (for monitoring) to analyze the putaway process and inventory levels.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for Extended Warehouse Management for detailed information on storage type configuration and putaway processes.
  Support: If the issue persists after taking the above steps, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP EWM expert for further assistance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure smooth putaway operations in your warehouse management system.
