  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/UI_PACKING404 - Mix of transit HUs and normal HUs in HU-hierarchy is not allowed ?
    The SAP error message /SCWM/UI_PACKING404 indicates that there is a mix of transit Handling Units (HUs) and normal HUs in the HU hierarchy, which is not allowed in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system. This error typically arises when you are trying to pack or process HUs that belong to different categories in a single operation. Cause: Mixing HUs: The primary cause of this error is that you are attempting to pack or manage HUs that are classified differently (i.e., some are transit HUs while others are normal HUs).

Review Packing Strategy: Ensure that your packing strategy does not inadvertently mix different types of HUs. Adjust the strategy if necessary. Configuration Review: Check the configuration settings in the EWM system to ensure
