  The SAP error message /SCWM/WHO017 is related to the Warehouse Management (WM) module in SAP, specifically in the context of handling units (HUs) and their weight limits. This error indicates that the weight of a handling unit (HU) is outside the defined limits set in the system.
  Cause:
  The error message /SCWM/WHO017 is triggered when the weight of a handling unit exceeds the maximum weight limit or falls below the minimum weight limit defined in the system. The message provides the following details:
  
  Minimum Weight Limit: The minimum weight allowed for the handling unit.
  Maximum Weight Limit: The maximum weight allowed for the handling unit.
  Current Weight: The actual weight of the handling unit that is being processed.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Weight Limits:
  
  Review the weight limits defined for the handling unit type or the specific product in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant configuration settings in SAP.
  Ensure that the weight limits are set correctly according to your business requirements.
  
  
  
  Adjust Handling Unit Weight:
  
  If the current weight of the handling unit is incorrect, you may need to adjust the weight of the items within the handling unit. This can involve removing excess items or redistributing weight among different handling units.
  
  
  
  Modify Configuration:
  
  If the weight limits are too restrictive for your operations, consider modifying the minimum and maximum weight limits in the configuration settings. This can be done in the Customizing (SPRO) settings under the Warehouse Management section.
  
  
  
  Recreate Handling Unit:
  
  If the handling unit is not compliant with the weight limits, you may need to recreate the handling unit with the correct weight distribution.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed guidance on handling weight limits in the Warehouse Management module.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like /SCWM/PRDI (for handling unit management) or /SCWM/WHM (for warehouse management) to access relevant data.
  Customizing Settings: The weight limits can typically be found in the Customizing settings under:
  
  Logistics Execution > Warehouse Management > Handling Unit Management > Define Handling Unit Types
  
  
  User Exits and BAdIs: If you have specific business logic that needs to be applied, consider using user exits or Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) to customize the behavior of weight checks.
