/SCWM/UI_PI049 - Details

• The SAP error message /SCWM/UI_PI049 indicates that the system has detected that the "Bin Empty" status has been set for a particular bin in the Warehouse Management (WM) module. As a result, the system is ignoring any other count entries that may have been made for that bin. This typically occurs during inventory counting processes in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM).
  
  Cause:
  
  Bin Status: The bin has been marked as "Empty," which means that the system assumes there are no items in that bin. Therefore, any count entries that indicate there are items present will be disregarded.
  Inventory Count Process: During the inventory counting process, if a bin is marked as empty, the system will not allow any discrepancies to be recorded against that bin.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the system may dictate that once a bin is marked as empty, it cannot be counted or adjusted until the status is changed.
