Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/RF_EN063 - Delete parent HU &1 from list before adding current HU ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/RF_EN063 indicates that you are trying to add a handling unit (HU) to a list while its parent handling unit is still present in that list. This typically occurs in the context of warehouse management and handling unit management in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM).
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:
  
  You are attempting to add a child handling unit (HU) to a list while the parent HU is still included in that list.
  The system enforces a rule that prevents adding a child HU if its parent is still present, as this could lead to inconsistencies in the handling unit hierarchy.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Parent HU: Determine which parent HU is currently in the list. The error message will usually specify the parent HU (indicated by &1).
  
  
  Remove the Parent HU: Before you can add the child HU, you need to remove the parent HU from the list. This can typically be done through the RF (Radio Frequency) interface or the SAP GUI, depending on how you are managing the handling units.
  
  
  Add the Child HU: Once the parent HU has been removed from the list, you can proceed to add the child HU without encountering the error.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Handling Units (HUs): In SAP EWM, handling units are used to manage the physical packaging of goods. They can be nested (i.e., a parent HU can contain child HUs).
  Warehouse Management: Understanding the hierarchy of handling units is crucial for effective warehouse management and inventory control.
  SAP Documentation: For more detailed information, refer to the SAP Help Portal or the specific EWM documentation related to handling units and RF transactions.
  
  Additional Tips:
  
  Ensure that you are familiar with the handling unit management processes in your organization.
  If you frequently encounter this error, consider reviewing your processes for handling HUs to ensure they align with SAP's requirements.
  If the issue persists or if you need further assistance, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert.
