  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/RF_EN758 - Source HU contains the wrong batch ?

    The SAP error message /SCWM/RF_EN758 Source HU contains the wrong batch typically occurs in the context of warehouse management and handling units (HUs) in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM). This error indicates that the handling unit (HU) you are trying to process is associated with a batch that does not match the expected batch for the operation you are performing.

    Cause:

    1. Batch Mismatch: The handling unit (HU) you are trying to use is linked to a different batch than what is required for the operation (e.g., picking, putaway).
    2. Incorrect Configuration: The system may be configured to expect a specific batch for certain operations, and the HU does not meet this requirement.
    3. Data Entry Error: There may have been a mistake in data entry or in the assignment of batches to the handling units.
    4. Stock Changes: Changes in stock or batch management settings may have led to discrepancies in batch assignments.

    Solution:

    1. Verify Batch Assignment: Check the batch assigned to the handling unit. You can do this by navigating to the HU in the system and reviewing its details.
    2. Check Batch Requirements: Ensure that the operation you are trying to perform (e.g., picking, putaway) is compatible with the batch assigned to the HU. You may need to adjust the batch settings or select a different HU.
    3. Reassign Batch: If the batch is incorrect, you may need to reassign the correct batch to the handling unit. This can often be done through the warehouse management transactions.
    4. Review Configuration: If this issue is recurring, review the configuration settings in SAP EWM related to batch management and handling units to ensure they align with your business processes.
    5. Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling batch management and HUs in your version of SAP EWM.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SCWM/PRDI (for picking), /SCWM/PRDI (for putaway), and others that may help in managing HUs and batches.
    • Batch Management Settings: Review the settings in the material master for batch management to ensure they are correctly configured.
    • SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message, as they may provide additional insights or patches that address known issues.
    • User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that the user performing the operation has the necessary authorizations to access and modify batches and handling units.

    If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a consultant who specializes in SAP EWM for further assistance.
