Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/UI_PACKING147 - Creating multiple HUs only possible without specifying identification ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/UI_PACKING147 indicates that you are trying to create multiple Handling Units (HUs) while specifying an identification for them, which is not allowed in the current context. This error typically occurs in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when you attempt to create multiple HUs with specific identifiers, such as serial numbers or batch numbers.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the system does not allow the creation of multiple HUs with specific identification attributes at the same time. When creating HUs, if you want to create multiple units, you should not specify any unique identification for them. The system expects that if you are creating multiple HUs, they should be treated as generic units without specific identifiers.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Create HUs without Identification: If you need to create multiple HUs, do not specify any identification (like serial numbers or batch numbers). Instead, create them as generic HUs.
  
  
  Create HUs Individually: If you need to create HUs with specific identifications, do it one at a time. This means you will create each HU separately, specifying the identification for each one.
  
  
  Check Configuration: Ensure that your system configuration allows for the creation of HUs in the manner you are attempting. Sometimes, system settings or user authorizations can affect how HUs are created.
  
  
  Review Documentation: Consult the SAP EWM documentation or help resources for more detailed information on handling HUs and the specific requirements for creating them.
  
  
  Consult with SAP Support: If the issue persists or if you believe it is a system error, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
