• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/STOCK_CONS031 - Remaining capacity &1 on bin exceeds your setting for remaining &2 % ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/STOCK_CONS031 indicates that the remaining capacity of a bin exceeds the configured threshold for remaining capacity percentage. This error typically occurs in the context of warehouse management within the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when the system checks the remaining capacity of a storage bin and finds that it exceeds the allowed percentage set in the configuration. This can happen due to:
  
  Configuration Settings: The threshold for remaining capacity percentage is set too low, causing the system to reject additional stock in the bin.
  Bin Capacity: The bin may have been filled beyond the expected capacity due to incorrect stock placement or manual adjustments.
  Stock Movement: There may be ongoing stock movements that are not yet reflected in the system, leading to discrepancies in the reported capacity.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration settings for the remaining capacity percentage in the EWM system. You can find this in the Customizing settings under:
  
  Logistics Execution > Extended Warehouse Management > Warehouse Management > Define Storage Bin Types.
  
  
  Adjust the threshold for remaining capacity percentage if necessary.
  
  
  
  Review Bin Capacity:
  
  Check the current stock levels in the affected bin. Ensure that the stock is placed correctly and that the bin is not overfilled.
  If the bin is indeed overfilled, consider relocating some stock to other bins with available capacity.
  
  
  
  Stock Movements:
  
  Ensure that all stock movements are completed and that the system reflects the current state of the warehouse.
  If there are pending stock movements, wait for them to be processed before attempting to add more stock to the bin.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on managing bin capacities and configurations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making adjustments, test the changes by attempting to add stock to the bin again to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in EWM for managing stock and warehouse configurations, such as /SCWM/PRDI for stock placement and /SCWM/PRDI for stock removal.
  User Roles: Ensure that users have the appropriate roles and permissions to make changes to warehouse configurations.
