• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/WHO123 - &1 pick-HUs with packaging material &2 due maximum weight of a HU ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/WHO123 indicates that there is an issue with the handling unit (HU) during the picking process in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. Specifically, this error occurs when the total weight of the handling unit exceeds the maximum weight limit defined for that handling unit type or packaging material.
  Cause:
  
  Exceeding Maximum Weight: The primary cause of this error is that the total weight of the items being picked into the handling unit exceeds the maximum weight limit set for that handling unit or packaging material.
  Configuration Issues: There may be incorrect configuration settings in the packaging material or handling unit type that do not align with the actual weights of the items being handled.
  Item Weight Misconfiguration: The weight of the items being picked may not be correctly defined in the material master, leading to discrepancies during the picking process.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Maximum Weight Settings:
  
  Review the maximum weight settings for the handling unit type or packaging material in the system. This can be done in the configuration settings of EWM.
  Adjust the maximum weight limit if necessary to accommodate the items being picked.
  
  
  
  Review Item Weights:
  
  Verify the weight of the items in the material master. Ensure that the weights are accurately defined and reflect the actual weight of the products.
  If there are discrepancies, update the material master data accordingly.
  
  
  
  Modify Picking Strategy:
  
  If the maximum weight cannot be increased, consider modifying the picking strategy to distribute the items across multiple handling units to stay within the weight limits.
  
  
  
  Use Alternative Packaging:
  
  If the current packaging material cannot accommodate the weight, consider using a different packaging material or handling unit type that has a higher weight limit.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for additional guidance on handling unit management and weight restrictions.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like /SCWM/PRDI for managing packaging or /SCWM/HU for handling unit management.
  EWM Configuration: Familiarize yourself with the EWM configuration settings related to handling units and packaging materials.
  Material Master: Ensure that the material master data is up-to-date and accurately reflects the physical characteristics of the items.
  
  By addressing the above points, you should be able to resolve the error message /SCWM/WHO123 and continue with the picking process in SAP EWM.
