• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/RF_EN836 - Final dest. bins (HU loaded, HU to be loaded) have different acty areas ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/RF_EN836 indicates that there is a mismatch in the activity areas of the final destination bins when handling handling units (HUs) in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This typically occurs during processes such as picking, putaway, or stock transfer where handling units are involved.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  Different Activity Areas: The source and destination bins have different activity areas assigned to them. Activity areas are used in EWM to define specific zones or areas within the warehouse where certain operations can be performed.
  Handling Unit Status: The handling unit (HU) being moved may have been loaded in a bin with a different activity area than the one it is being moved to.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the warehouse setup that lead to this mismatch.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Activity Areas:
  
  Verify the activity areas assigned to both the source and destination bins. You can do this by navigating to the bin master data in EWM.
  Ensure that both bins have the same activity area if you intend to move HUs between them.
  
  
  
  Adjust Bin Configuration:
  
  If the bins are supposed to have different activity areas, consider adjusting the handling unit's status or the process you are trying to execute.
  You may need to reconfigure the warehouse layout or the activity areas assigned to the bins.
  
  
  
  Handling Unit Movement:
  
  If the HU is loaded in a bin with a specific activity area, ensure that you are moving it to a bin that is compatible with that activity area.
  If necessary, unload the HU from the current bin and then load it into the destination bin.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to EWM and handling units for more detailed guidance on activity areas and bin configurations.
  
  
  
  Contact Support:
  
  If the issue persists after checking the configurations, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP EWM expert for further assistance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Activity Areas: These are defined in the warehouse management settings and are crucial for managing operations in different zones of the warehouse.
  Handling Units (HUs): These are units of measure that can contain one or more products and are used to manage inventory in EWM.
  Warehouse Configuration: Proper configuration of bins, activity areas, and handling units is essential for smooth operations in SAP EWM.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
