• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/WHO114 - Rule &1 inconsistent. Max. no. WTs per HU * max. no. HUs < max. no. WTs ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/WHO114 Rule &1 inconsistent. Max. no. WTs per HU * max. no. HUs < max. no. WTs typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when there is a configuration issue related to the handling unit (HU) and the associated rules for warehouse tasks (WTs).
  Cause:
  This error indicates that the configuration for the handling unit (HU) rule is inconsistent. Specifically, it means that the maximum number of warehouse tasks (WTs) that can be processed is not aligned with the defined limits for handling units. The error message breaks down as follows:
  
  Max. no. WTs per HU: This is the maximum number of warehouse tasks that can be associated with a single handling unit.
  Max. no. HUs: This is the maximum number of handling units that can be processed in a single warehouse task.
  Max. no. WTs: This is the overall maximum number of warehouse tasks that can be created.
  
  The inconsistency arises when the product of the maximum number of warehouse tasks per handling unit and the maximum number of handling units is less than the overall maximum number of warehouse tasks. In simpler terms, the configuration does not allow for the number of warehouse tasks that are being attempted based on the defined limits.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to review and adjust the configuration settings for the handling unit rule in SAP EWM. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Access the Handling Unit Rule Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP EWM configuration settings.
  Navigate to the handling unit management section.
  
  
  
  Check the Rule Settings:
  
  Identify the specific handling unit rule mentioned in the error message (Rule &1).
  Review the settings for "Max. no. WTs per HU," "Max. no. HUs," and "Max. no. WTs."
  
  
  
  Adjust the Values:
  
  Ensure that the product of "Max. no. WTs per HU" and "Max. no. HUs" is greater than or equal to "Max. no. WTs."
  If necessary, increase the values for "Max. no. WTs per HU" or "Max. no. HUs" to ensure that the configuration is consistent.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the adjustments, test the configuration by attempting to create warehouse tasks again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Documentation and Training:
  
  Document the changes made to the configuration for future reference.
  Consider providing training or guidelines to users to prevent similar issues in the future.
