• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/TW_UI096 - Handling unit container &1 not created yet ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/TW_UI096 Handling unit container &1 not created yet typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when there is an attempt to access or manipulate a handling unit (HU) that has not yet been created in the system. This can happen during various processes, such as goods receipt, goods issue, or during the handling of inventory.
  Cause:
  
  Handling Unit Not Created: The most straightforward cause is that the handling unit (identified by &1) has not been created in the system. This could be due to a failure in the process that should have created it.
  Incorrect Process Flow: The process flow may not have been followed correctly, leading to an attempt to access an HU that is not yet available.
  Data Entry Errors: There may be errors in data entry or configuration that prevent the HU from being created.
  System Configuration Issues: There could be issues with the configuration of the warehouse management system that prevent the creation of handling units.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check HU Creation Process: Verify that the handling unit creation process has been executed correctly. This may involve checking the relevant transactions or processes that should have created the HU.
  Review Process Flow: Ensure that the process flow is being followed correctly. If you are in the middle of a process (like goods receipt), make sure all prior steps have been completed successfully.
  Create Handling Unit Manually: If the HU is indeed missing, you may need to create it manually using the appropriate transaction (e.g., /SCWM/HU_CREATE).
  Check for Errors in Previous Steps: Look for any errors or warnings in the logs of previous steps that might indicate why the HU was not created.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help files related to handling units and the specific process you are working with to ensure all steps are being followed.
  System Configuration: If the issue persists, consult with your SAP Basis or EWM configuration team to ensure that the system is set up correctly for handling unit management.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SCWM/HU_CREATE, /SCWM/HU_MANAGE, and others that may help in managing handling units.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to handling units in your version of SAP EWM.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to create and manage handling units.
  Training and Documentation: Consider training sessions or documentation for users involved in warehouse management to minimize errors in handling unit processes.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
