• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/STOCK_CONS015 - Capacity in bin &1 allows only &2 &3; qty needed set accordingly ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/STOCK_CONS015 indicates that there is a capacity issue with a storage bin in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. Specifically, it means that the quantity of stock you are trying to place in a specific bin exceeds the allowed capacity for that bin.
  Cause:
  
  Bin Capacity Exceeded: The storage bin has a defined capacity that is being exceeded by the quantity you are trying to place in it.
  Configuration Settings: The bin may have been configured with specific capacity limits (e.g., weight, volume, or quantity) that restrict the amount of stock that can be stored.
  Stock Type Restrictions: The type of stock being placed in the bin may not be compatible with the bin's configuration.
  Incorrect Quantity Calculation: The system may be calculating the required quantity incorrectly due to prior transactions or settings.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Bin Capacity: Review the configuration of the storage bin in question to understand its capacity limits. You can do this in the EWM configuration settings.
  Adjust Quantity: If possible, reduce the quantity of stock you are trying to place in the bin to fit within the allowed limits.
  Reconfigure Bin: If the bin needs to accommodate larger quantities, consider adjusting the bin's capacity settings in the system.
  Use Alternative Bins: If the current bin cannot accommodate the required quantity, consider using a different bin that has sufficient capacity.
  Review Stock Type: Ensure that the stock type being placed in the bin is compatible with the bin's configuration.
  Check for Open Tasks: Sometimes, open tasks or stock movements can affect the available capacity. Ensure that all relevant tasks are completed.
