• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/UI_PI052 - You have set "HU Missing"; system ignores dependent count entries ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/UI_PI052 indicates that there is an issue related to handling units (HUs) in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. Specifically, the message states that the system has detected that the "HU Missing" setting is enabled, which leads to the system ignoring dependent count entries.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises when:
  
  HU Missing Setting: The "HU Missing" setting is activated in the system configuration. This setting is used to determine how the system should handle situations where handling units are not present or are missing.
  Dependent Count Entries: The system is trying to process dependent count entries (like stock counts or inventory checks) that require handling units, but since the "HU Missing" setting is active, the system ignores these entries.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Navigate to the EWM configuration settings and check the "HU Missing" setting. If it is set to ignore dependent count entries, you may want to change this setting based on your business requirements.
  You can find this setting in the EWM customizing under the relevant configuration for handling units.
  
  
  
  Review Count Entries:
  
  Ensure that the count entries you are trying to process are valid and that the handling units are correctly assigned.
  If handling units are indeed missing, you may need to create or assign them before proceeding with the count.
  
  
  
  Adjust Process Flow:
  
  If the business process allows, consider adjusting the process flow to ensure that handling units are always accounted for before performing dependent counts.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help notes related to handling units and inventory management in EWM for more detailed guidance.
