• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/WHO103 - Maximum number of HUs &1 reached for each warehouse order ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/WHO103 Maximum number of HUs &1 reached for each warehouse order typically occurs in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error indicates that the maximum number of Handling Units (HUs) that can be processed for a specific warehouse order has been reached. 
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Limit: The system has a predefined limit on the number of HUs that can be associated with a single warehouse order. This limit is set in the configuration settings of the EWM system.
  Warehouse Order Settings: The warehouse order may have been configured to allow only a certain number of HUs, and this limit has been reached during processing.
  System Constraints: There may be constraints based on the warehouse layout, storage types, or other operational parameters that limit the number of HUs.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Increase the Limit: If the current limit is too low for your operational needs, you can increase the maximum number of HUs allowed per warehouse order. This can typically be done in the EWM configuration settings:
  
  Navigate to the relevant configuration settings in the SAP EWM system.
  Look for the settings related to warehouse orders and handling units.
  Adjust the maximum number of HUs allowed per warehouse order as needed.
  
  
  
  Split the Warehouse Order: If increasing the limit is not feasible or desirable, consider splitting the warehouse order into multiple smaller orders, each containing fewer HUs. This can help you stay within the configured limits.
  
  
  Review Warehouse Processes: Analyze the warehouse processes to ensure that they are optimized and that the number of HUs being processed per order is reasonable. This may involve reviewing how HUs are created and managed in the system.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP EWM documentation for detailed information on handling units and warehouse order configurations. This can provide insights into best practices and system capabilities.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists or if you need further assistance, consider reaching out to SAP support for guidance specific to your system configuration and operational requirements.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP EWM, such as /SCWM/ORDIM for managing warehouse orders.
  EWM Configuration: Understanding the configuration of EWM, including warehouse order types and handling unit management, can help prevent similar issues in the future.
  User Exits and BAdIs: Explore user exits or Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) that may allow for custom handling of warehouse orders and HUs, providing more flexibility in your operations.
  
  By addressing the root cause of the error and implementing the suggested solutions, you should be able to resolve the issue and improve your warehouse operations.
