• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/WHO124 - &1 pick-HUs with packaging material &2 due to maximum volume of a HU ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/WHO124 indicates that there is an issue with handling units (HUs) during the picking process in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. Specifically, this error occurs when the maximum volume of a handling unit (HU) is exceeded due to the packaging material associated with the items being picked.
  Cause:
  
  Volume Limit Exceeded: Each handling unit has a defined maximum volume capacity. If the total volume of the items being picked exceeds this limit, the error will be triggered.
  Packaging Material Configuration: The packaging material assigned to the handling unit may have specific volume constraints that are not being adhered to during the picking process.
  Incorrect Item Dimensions: The dimensions or volume of the items being picked may not be correctly defined in the system, leading to an incorrect calculation of the total volume.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Handling Unit Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration of the handling unit to ensure that the maximum volume is set correctly.
  If necessary, adjust the maximum volume limit for the handling unit to accommodate the items being picked.
  
  
  
  Review Packaging Material:
  
  Check the packaging material settings in the system to ensure that they are correctly defined and that the volume limits are appropriate for the items being handled.
  If the packaging material is too restrictive, consider using a different packaging material with a higher volume capacity.
  
  
  
  Adjust Item Dimensions:
  
  Verify the dimensions and volume of the items being picked in the material master. Ensure that they are accurately defined to prevent miscalculations during the picking process.
  
  
  
  Split the Picking Process:
  
  If the items being picked cannot fit within the volume constraints of the handling unit, consider splitting the picking process into multiple handling units to distribute the volume more effectively.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for additional guidance on handling units and volume management in EWM.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like /SCWM/PRDI (for picking) or /SCWM/HU (for handling units) to manage and troubleshoot handling units.
  EWM Configuration: Ensure that your EWM system is properly configured for handling units, including settings for packaging materials and volume calculations.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address known issues or provide additional solutions related to this error message.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and continue with the picking process in your SAP EWM system.
