• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/PUT_BIN_DET090 - Maximum number of fixed bins (&1) reached in storage type &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/PUT_BIN_DET090 indicates that the maximum number of fixed bins has been reached in a specific storage type. This error typically occurs in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when trying to put away goods into a storage type that has a defined limit on the number of fixed bins.
  Cause:
  
  Fixed Bin Limit Reached: The storage type has a predefined maximum number of fixed bins, and this limit has been reached. Fixed bins are specific locations in the warehouse where certain items are stored, and they are often used for high-turnover items or items that require specific storage conditions.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings for the storage type may have been set to restrict the number of fixed bins, which can lead to this error if the limit is exceeded.
  Warehouse Management Practices: The warehouse management practices may not be aligned with the current inventory levels, leading to an attempt to store more items than the fixed bins can accommodate.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Storage Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the storage type in SAP EWM.
  Check the maximum number of fixed bins allowed and consider increasing this limit if necessary.
  Ensure that the configuration aligns with the actual storage needs of the warehouse.
  
  
  
  Optimize Bin Utilization:
  
  Review the current usage of fixed bins and see if there are any bins that can be freed up or reallocated.
  Consider implementing a more dynamic storage strategy if fixed bins are not essential for your operations.
  
  
  
  Adjust Inventory Management Practices:
  
  Analyze the inventory levels and turnover rates to ensure that the fixed bin strategy is appropriate.
  If certain items are not moving as expected, consider adjusting their storage strategy to use more flexible bin assignments.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed guidance on managing fixed bins and storage types in EWM.

  Training and Documentation: Ensure that warehouse staff are trained on the system and understand the implications of fixed bins and how to manage them effectively.
