• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/STOCK_CONS023 - Product &1 with &2 &3 is unpacked; storage type &4 requires stock in HUs ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/STOCK_CONS023 indicates that a product is unpacked in a storage type that requires stock to be managed in Handling Units (HUs). This typically occurs in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module of SAP when there is a mismatch between the handling unit management settings and the actual stock status of the product.
  Cause:
  
  Storage Type Configuration: The storage type is configured to require handling units, but the product is currently unpacked (not in a handling unit).
  Product Master Data: The product may not be set up correctly in the system to be managed in handling units.
  Warehouse Process: The process being executed (e.g., putaway, stock transfer) is attempting to move unpacked stock into a storage type that mandates handling units.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Storage Type Settings:
  
  Go to the configuration of the storage type in EWM and verify that it is set to require handling units.
  If the storage type should allow unpacked stock, consider changing the configuration.
  
  
  
  Review Product Master Data:
  
  Check the product master data to ensure that it is set up for handling unit management.
  Ensure that the product is assigned to the correct handling unit type if applicable.
  
  
  
  Handling Unit Creation:
  
  If the product needs to be in a handling unit, create a handling unit for the unpacked stock.
  Use the appropriate transaction to pack the product into a handling unit before moving it to the storage type.
  
  
  
  Adjust Warehouse Processes:
  
  Review the warehouse processes being executed to ensure they align with the handling unit requirements of the storage type.
  If necessary, modify the process to accommodate the handling unit requirements.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like /SCWM/PRDI (Product Master) or /SCWM/STOCK (Stock Overview) to check product and stock details.
  EWM Configuration: Familiarize yourself with the EWM configuration settings related to handling units and storage types.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for Extended Warehouse Management for detailed guidance on handling units and storage type configurations.
