• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/STOCK_UPLOAD052 - Posting with HU not possible as HUs are not allowed in storage type &1 ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/STOCK_UPLOAD052 indicates that there is an issue with handling units (HUs) in a specific storage type within the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. The error message states that posting with handling units is not possible because handling units are not allowed in the specified storage type.
  Cause:
  
  Storage Type Configuration: The storage type in question is configured to not allow handling units. This could be due to the settings in the warehouse management configuration where the storage type is defined.
  Handling Unit Management Settings: The handling unit management settings for the warehouse may not be properly configured to allow HUs in that specific storage type.
  Incorrect Posting Attempt: The system is trying to post stock that is associated with handling units into a storage type that does not support them.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Storage Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the storage type in EWM.
  Verify if the storage type is set to allow handling units. If not, you may need to change the configuration to allow HUs if that is appropriate for your warehouse operations.
  
  
  
  Adjust Handling Unit Management Settings:
  
  Review the handling unit management settings in your EWM system.
  Ensure that the settings align with your operational requirements and that the storage type is configured to accept handling units.
  
  
  
  Change Posting Method:
  
  If the storage type cannot be changed to allow handling units, consider using a different storage type that does allow HUs for your posting operation.
  Alternatively, if the handling units are not necessary for the operation, consider posting the stock without HUs.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to handling units and storage type configuration for more detailed guidance.
  
  
  
  Engage with SAP Support:
  
  If the issue persists or if you are unsure about making changes, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP team for assistance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like /SCWM/PRDI for posting stock or /SCWM/STOCK for stock management.
  Configuration Path: The configuration for storage types can typically be found under the following path in the SAP Easy Access Menu: Logistics -> Logistics Execution -> Warehouse Management -> Interfaces -> Handling Unit Management -> Define Storage Types.
