• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/STOCK_UPLOAD026 - No posting possible without HU, as HU requirement exists in stor.type &1 ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/STOCK_UPLOAD026 No posting possible without HU, as HU requirement exists in stor.type &1 typically occurs in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when you attempt to perform a stock posting (such as goods receipt, transfer posting, etc.) in a storage type that has a Handling Unit (HU) requirement configured, but you are not providing a Handling Unit.
  Cause:
  
  Storage Type Configuration: The storage type specified in the error message has been configured to require Handling Units. This means that any stock movements into or out of this storage type must be associated with a Handling Unit.
  Missing Handling Unit: The operation you are trying to perform does not include a Handling Unit, which is mandatory for the specified storage type.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Storage Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the storage type in EWM.
  Verify if the storage type indeed has the Handling Unit requirement enabled. This can be checked in the storage type settings under the Warehouse Management configuration.
  
  
  
  Provide a Handling Unit:
  
  When performing the stock posting, ensure that you are providing a valid Handling Unit. This can be done by:
  
  Creating a new Handling Unit if one does not exist.
  Using an existing Handling Unit that meets the requirements of the storage type.
  
  
  
  
  
  Adjust the Process:
  
  If the requirement for Handling Units is not necessary for your business process, consider changing the configuration of the storage type to allow stock postings without a Handling Unit. However, this should be done with caution and in accordance with your business processes.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation or help resources related to Handling Units and storage type configuration for more detailed guidance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Handling Units (HUs): In SAP EWM, Handling Units are used to manage and track stock in a more granular way. They can represent physical packaging units, pallets, or containers.
  Storage Type: A storage type in EWM defines how and where stock is stored in the warehouse. Each storage type can have specific rules and requirements, including whether HUs are mandatory.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SCWM/PRDI for stock postings, and /SCWM/STOCK for handling unit management.
  
  If you continue to experience issues after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a consultant who specializes in SAP EWM for further assistance.
