• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/PUT_BIN_DET132 - Sub-bin must be entered; storage bin &1 is already sectioned ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/PUT_BIN_DET132 indicates that a sub-bin must be specified because the storage bin you are trying to use is already sectioned. This typically occurs in the context of warehouse management within SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM).
  Cause:
  
  Sectioned Storage Bin: The storage bin you are trying to use has been configured to have sections (sub-bins). When a storage bin is sectioned, it requires that you specify a sub-bin for any putaway or stock movement activities.
  Missing Sub-bin Information: The system expects a sub-bin to be provided in the transaction, but it was not included in the input.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Specify a Sub-bin: When performing the putaway or stock movement, ensure that you specify a valid sub-bin within the sectioned storage bin. You can do this by:
  
  Checking the configuration of the storage bin to understand its sections.
  Entering the appropriate sub-bin in the relevant field during the transaction.
  
  
  
  Review Storage Bin Configuration: If you believe that the storage bin should not require a sub-bin, you may need to review the configuration of the storage bin in the system:
  
  Go to the storage bin master data and check if it is set up as sectioned.
  If necessary, modify the configuration to remove the sectioning if it is not needed.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP EWM documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for handling sectioned storage bins and sub-bins.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Storage Bin Master Data: Review the master data for the storage bin in question to understand its configuration.
  Warehouse Management Settings: Check the settings in the Warehouse Management module to ensure that the configuration aligns with your operational needs.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on how to handle sectioned storage bins and the importance of specifying sub-bins during transactions.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a technical consultant who specializes in SAP EWM for further assistance.
