Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/PUT_BIN_DET107 - Storage bin &1 is already being used as a fixed bin ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/PUT_BIN_DET107 indicates that the storage bin you are trying to use is already designated as a fixed bin. In SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM), a fixed bin is a storage location that is reserved for a specific product or purpose, and it cannot be used for other items.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to assign a product or perform a putaway operation in a storage bin that has already been defined as a fixed bin for another product. This can happen due to:
  
  Configuration Issues: The storage bin is configured as a fixed bin for a specific product, and you are trying to put away a different product into that bin.
  Incorrect Warehouse Management Processes: The process being followed does not align with the defined storage strategies or bin assignments.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Fixed Bin Assignment:
  
  Go to the storage bin master data and check which product is assigned to the fixed bin. You can do this using transaction code /SCWM/PRDI or through the EWM interface.
  If the bin is indeed assigned to a different product, you will need to either change the product being put away or reassign the fixed bin.
  
  
  
  Change Bin Configuration:
  
  If you need to use the bin for a different product, you can change the fixed bin assignment. This can be done by:
  
  Navigating to the storage bin master data.
  Removing the fixed bin assignment for the current product if it is no longer needed.
  Assigning the new product to the bin if applicable.
  
  
  
  
  
  Review Warehouse Processes:
  
  Ensure that your warehouse processes are correctly set up to avoid conflicts with fixed bin assignments. This may involve reviewing your storage strategies and ensuring that they align with your operational needs.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or your internal guidelines for managing fixed bins and storage strategies in EWM to ensure compliance with best practices.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Fixed Bins: Fixed bins are used to ensure that certain products are always stored in specific locations, which can help with inventory management and retrieval efficiency.
  Storage Strategies: Understanding how storage strategies work in EWM can help prevent such errors. Storage strategies dictate how products are assigned to storage bins.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in EWM for managing storage bins and product assignments, such as /SCWM/PRDI for product master data and /SCWM/BIN for bin management.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that your warehouse operations run smoothly.
