• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/SHP_RCV028 - TU assignment &1/&2 lies below the lower time limit &3/&4 for assignments ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/SHP_RCV028 indicates that there is an issue with the assignment of transportation units (TUs) in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. Specifically, this error occurs when the assignment of a transportation unit is below the defined lower time limit for assignments.
  Cause:
  The error is typically caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Time Limit Configuration: The lower time limit for the assignment of transportation units is configured in the system, and the current assignment does not meet this requirement.
  Incorrect TU Assignment: The transportation unit being assigned may have a timestamp that is earlier than the allowed time limit for the assignment.

  Navigate to the relevant customizing settings in the SAP system (SPRO) and check the settings under Extended Warehouse Management.
  
  
  
  Adjust TU Assignment:
  
  If the transportation unit's timestamp is indeed below the lower time limit, you may need to adjust the timing of the assignment or the timestamp of the transportation unit.
  Ensure that the transportation unit is being assigned within the allowed time frame.
  
  
  
  Review Business Processes:
  
  Analyze the business processes that lead to this error. Ensure that the processes align with the configured time limits and that users are aware of these constraints.
