• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/PUT_BIN_DET103 - Storage type &1: HUs allowed but not required ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/PUT_BIN_DET103 indicates that there is a configuration issue related to handling units (HUs) in a specific storage type. The message states that HUs are allowed in the storage type but are not required, which can lead to confusion during warehouse operations.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Settings: The storage type in question is configured to allow handling units, but it is not set up to require them. This can lead to situations where the system expects handling units to be used, but they are not mandatory.
  Warehouse Process: The warehouse process being executed may be expecting handling units to be present, but the storage type configuration does not enforce this requirement.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Storage Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the storage type in the SAP system.
  Check the settings for handling units. You may need to adjust the configuration to either require handling units or to ensure that the processes being executed align with the current configuration.
  
  
  
  Adjust Warehouse Process:
  
  If the warehouse process does not require handling units, ensure that the process is correctly set up to handle items without HUs.
  If HUs are necessary for the process, consider changing the storage type configuration to require HUs.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to warehouse management and handling units to understand the implications of the configuration settings.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, conduct tests to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the warehouse processes function as expected.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Handling Units (HUs): In SAP, handling units are used to manage and track physical items in the warehouse. They can represent pallets, boxes, or any other packaging unit.
  Storage Type Configuration: Storage types in SAP Warehouse Management (WM) or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) can be configured to allow or require handling units based on the operational needs of the warehouse.
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes such as /SCWM/OT (for storage type configuration) or /SCWM/PR (for process configuration) to access and modify the relevant settings.
  
  If the issue persists after making the necessary adjustments, it may be beneficial to consult with an SAP expert or support team for further assistance.
