• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/WHO132 - Maximum number of HUs per warehouse order reached ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/WHO132 Maximum number of HUs per warehouse order reached typically occurs in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module when the system has reached the predefined limit of Handling Units (HUs) that can be associated with a single warehouse order. This limit is set in the system configuration and can vary based on business requirements.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Limit: The maximum number of HUs allowed per warehouse order is defined in the system settings. If the number of HUs being processed exceeds this limit, the error will be triggered.
  Warehouse Order Creation: When creating or processing a warehouse order, if the total number of HUs exceeds the configured limit, the system will not allow further processing.
  Data Entry Errors: Sometimes, incorrect data entry or system errors can lead to an unexpected increase in the number of HUs being processed.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings for the maximum number of HUs allowed per warehouse order. This can typically be found in the EWM customizing settings under:
  
  Logistics Execution > Extended Warehouse Management > Warehouse Management > Define Warehouse Order Types.
  Look for the parameter that defines the maximum number of HUs and adjust it according to your business needs.
  
  
  
  Split Warehouse Orders: If the number of HUs exceeds the limit and cannot be increased, consider splitting the warehouse order into multiple orders. This can be done by creating separate orders for different batches of HUs.
  
  
  Review Warehouse Processes: Analyze the warehouse processes to ensure that they are efficient and that HUs are being managed properly. This may involve reviewing how HUs are created and processed in the system.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help notes related to warehouse order processing and handling units for additional insights and best practices.
  
  
  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 business processes.
  
  
  Related Information:
