• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/STOCK_UPLOAD013 - Highest-level HU &1 is not contained in the loaded data ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/STOCK_UPLOAD013 indicates that the highest-level Handling Unit (HU) specified in your upload data is not found in the loaded data. This typically occurs during the process of uploading handling unit data into the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Data: The highest-level HU you are trying to upload does not exist in the system or is not included in the data you are uploading.
  Incorrect Hierarchy: The hierarchy of handling units may not be correctly defined in your upload file. The system expects the highest-level HU to be present and correctly referenced.
  Data Format Issues: The format of the data being uploaded may not match the expected format, leading to the system not recognizing the highest-level HU.
  Transaction Context: The context in which the upload is being performed may not be appropriate, such as trying to upload data for a transaction that does not support the specified HU.
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify Data: Check the upload data to ensure that the highest-level HU is included and correctly referenced. Make sure that the HU exists in the system.
  Check Hierarchy: Ensure that the hierarchy of handling units is correctly defined. The highest-level HU should be the parent of any lower-level HUs.
  Data Format: Review the format of the data being uploaded. Ensure that it adheres to the required structure and that all necessary fields are populated.
  Use Transaction Codes: If applicable, use the appropriate transaction codes to check the status of the handling units in the system. For example, you can use transaction codes like /SCWM/HU to view handling units.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on handling unit uploads and the expected data structure.
  Error Logs: Check the error logs for more detailed information about the upload process and any other related errors that may provide additional context.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Handling Units (HUs): In SAP EWM, handling units are used to manage and track physical items in the warehouse. Each HU can contain one or more products and can be nested within other HUs.
  Upload Process: The upload process typically involves using tools like LSMW (Legacy System Migration Workbench) or custom programs to import data into the SAP system.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a technical consultant who specializes in SAP EWM for further assistance.
