• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/STOCK_CONS036 - &1 items on bin &2 exceed allowed moves; unable to clear bin ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/STOCK_CONS036 indicates that the number of items in a specific bin has exceeded the allowed number of moves for that bin. This typically occurs in the context of warehouse management within the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Limits: The bin may have a configuration that limits the number of moves (pick, put, transfer) that can be processed at one time. This is often set to prevent overloading a bin or to manage inventory more effectively.
  High Volume of Transactions: If there are a large number of items being moved in and out of the bin in a short period, it can exceed the configured limits.
  System Settings: The system may have specific settings that restrict the number of items that can be moved from or to a bin based on business rules or operational procedures.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Bin Configuration: Review the configuration settings for the bin in question. You may need to adjust the allowed number of moves for that bin in the warehouse management settings.
  
  Navigate to the bin settings in the EWM configuration and look for parameters related to move limits.
  
  
  
  Review Transaction Volume: Analyze the volume of transactions being processed. If the bin is frequently exceeding its limits, consider redistributing inventory or adjusting operational procedures to manage the flow of items more effectively.
  
  
  Increase Move Limits: If the current limits are too restrictive for your operational needs, consider increasing the allowed number of moves for that bin.
  
  This can be done in the EWM configuration settings where you define the bin characteristics.
  
  
  
  Clear the Bin: If possible, clear the bin by moving some items to another location to reduce the number of items in the bin temporarily. This may allow you to process the current transactions.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on managing bin configurations and move limits.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on configuration settings.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in EWM that can help you monitor and manage bin configurations (e.g., /SCWM/PRDI for product data, /SCWM/BIN for bin management).
  User Roles: Ensure that the user roles and authorizations are set correctly to allow for changes in bin configurations and to perform necessary transactions.
  
  By addressing the configuration and operational aspects related to the bin, you should be able to resolve the error and improve the efficiency of your warehouse operations.
