• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/RFID034 - Goods issue cannot be posted for HU &1 since no EPC exists for it ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/RFID034 Goods issue cannot be posted for HU &1 since no EPC exists for it typically occurs in the context of handling units (HUs) in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error indicates that the system cannot process a goods issue for a handling unit because there is no Electronic Product Code (EPC) associated with that handling unit.
  Cause:
  
  Missing EPC: The handling unit (HU) you are trying to process does not have an associated EPC. The EPC is a unique identifier used in RFID and other tracking systems to identify products.
  Incorrect Configuration: The system may not be configured correctly to generate or associate EPCs with handling units.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data, such as the handling unit not being properly created or updated in the system.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Handling Unit: Verify that the handling unit in question has an EPC assigned to it. You can do this by checking the HU details in the SAP EWM system.
  Assign EPC: If the EPC is missing, you may need to assign an EPC to the handling unit. This can typically be done through the relevant transaction or program in SAP EWM.
  Recreate Handling Unit: If the handling unit is not correctly set up, consider recreating it with the correct EPC assignment.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings in SAP EWM related to handling units and EPC generation. Ensure that the system is set up to automatically generate EPCs when handling units are created.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific steps on how to manage EPCs and handling units in your version of SAP EWM.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like /SCWM/HU to manage handling units or /SCWM/PR for processing related tasks.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to view and modify handling units and EPCs.
  Integration with RFID: If your system is integrated with RFID technology, ensure that the RFID readers and systems are functioning correctly and that data is being captured as expected.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a technical consultant who specializes in SAP EWM.
