• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/PWR026 - Valuation quantities not permitted; product &1 not catch weight relevant ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/PWR026 Valuation quantities not permitted; product &1 not catch weight relevant typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when dealing with products that are not configured to use catch weight management. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Product Configuration: The product identified by &1 is not set up to handle catch weight. Catch weight management is used for products that are measured in different units of measure (e.g., weight and quantity).
  Valuation Type: The system expects a valuation quantity for a product that is not configured for catch weight, leading to this error.
  Document Type: The document type being processed may require catch weight handling, but the product does not support it.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Product Master Data:
  
  Go to the product master data in SAP EWM and verify if the product is set up for catch weight management.
  Ensure that the product has the appropriate settings for catch weight in the material master (MM) and EWM settings.
  
  
  
  Adjust Product Settings:
  
  If the product should be catch weight relevant, you may need to change the configuration in the material master. This can be done in transaction MM02 (Change Material) and ensuring that the catch weight indicator is set.
  If the product is not intended to be catch weight relevant, ensure that the processes or documents being used do not require catch weight handling.
  
  
  
  Review Document Type:
  
  Check the document type being used in the transaction. If it is set to require catch weight, consider using a different document type that does not require catch weight for this product.
  
  
  
  Consult with Configuration Team:
  
  If you are unsure about the settings or need to make changes, consult with your SAP configuration team or a functional consultant who specializes in EWM.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Catch Weight Management: This is a feature in SAP that allows for the management of products that are sold by weight but may have a different base unit of measure (e.g., a product sold by weight but stored in pieces).
  Material Master Data: The material master is a central repository of information about materials in SAP. It contains data related to purchasing, inventory management, and sales.
  EWM Configuration: Ensure that the EWM system is properly configured to handle the specific requirements of your warehouse operations, including catch weight management if applicable.
  
  Additional Steps:
  
  Testing: After making changes, perform a test transaction to ensure that the error does not occur again.
  Documentation: Document any changes made to the product configuration for future reference and compliance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error message /SCWM/PWR026 and ensure that your product handling aligns with your business processes.
