• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/UI_PACKING062 - Maximum number of WTs reached; Close the HU ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/UI_PACKING062 indicates that the maximum number of Handling Units (HUs) has been reached for a specific Warehouse Task (WT) in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system. This typically occurs when you are trying to pack more items into a Handling Unit than the system allows based on its configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Maximum Handling Unit Limit: Each Handling Unit has a predefined limit on the number of Warehouse Tasks or items that can be packed into it. If you attempt to exceed this limit, the system will generate this error message.
  Configuration Settings: The limit may be set in the system configuration, which defines how many items or WTs can be associated with a single HU.
  Incorrect Packing Process: The packing process may not be followed correctly, leading to an attempt to pack more items than allowed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Close the Handling Unit: If you have reached the maximum number of WTs for the HU, you need to close the current HU. This can be done by completing the packing process for the current HU and creating a new one for additional items.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings for Handling Units in the EWM system. You may need to adjust the maximum number of WTs allowed per HU if the current limit is too low for your operational needs.
  Split the Packing: If you have more items to pack, consider splitting them into multiple HUs. This way, you can stay within the limits set by the system.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP EWM documentation or help resources for detailed instructions on handling HUs and WTs.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like /SCWM/PRDI (for packing) or /SCWM/PRDI (for handling unit management) to manage your HUs and WTs.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide updates to the system that could affect packing behavior.
  User Training: Ensure that users involved in the packing process are trained on the correct procedures and understand the limitations of HUs in the system.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and continue with your packing operations in SAP EWM.
