• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/RF_DE116 - Product WT creation not possible because dest.stor.type is subject to HU ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/RF_DE116 indicates that the system is unable to create a Warehouse Task (WT) for a product because the destination storage type is subject to Handling Units (HUs). This typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when trying to perform operations that involve handling units in a storage type that requires them.
  Cause:
  
  Storage Type Configuration: The destination storage type is configured to require handling units. This means that any stock movement into or out of this storage type must be done using handling units.
  Product Configuration: The product being moved may not be set up to work with handling units, or the handling unit management settings may not align with the storage type requirements.
  Warehouse Process Type: The warehouse process type being used may not be compatible with the handling unit requirements of the destination storage type.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Storage Type Settings:
  
  Go to the configuration of the storage type in the EWM system.
  Ensure that the settings for handling units are correctly configured. If the storage type should not require handling units, you may need to change its configuration.
  
  
  
  Review Product Master Data:
  
  Check the product master data to ensure that it is set up to handle handling units if the destination storage type requires them.
  Ensure that the product is assigned to the correct handling unit type.
  
  
  
  Adjust Warehouse Process Type:
  
  Review the warehouse process type associated with the task you are trying to perform. Ensure that it is set up to handle operations involving handling units if necessary.
  
  
  
  Create Handling Units:
  
  If the destination storage type requires handling units, ensure that you create the necessary handling units for the product before attempting to create the warehouse task.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on handling units and storage type configurations.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Handling Units (HUs): In SAP EWM, handling units are used to manage stock in a more organized way, allowing for better tracking and management of inventory.
  Storage Type: A storage type defines how and where products are stored in the warehouse. It can have specific requirements, such as whether handling units are mandatory.
  Warehouse Management: Understanding the overall warehouse management processes in SAP EWM can help in troubleshooting and resolving issues related to warehouse tasks and handling units.
  
  If the issue persists after checking the above points, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a consultant who specializes in SAP EWM for further assistance.
