• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VB616 - Only fixed bin storage and only MM-WM exclude each other ?

  The SAP error message VB616 indicates a conflict between the storage type settings in the Warehouse Management (WM) module and the Material Management (MM) module. Specifically, it suggests that the system is trying to use both fixed bin storage and a non-fixed bin storage method simultaneously, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Storage Type Configuration: The error typically arises when a storage type is configured to use fixed bins, but the material or movement type being processed is set up in a way that does not support fixed bin storage.
  Material Master Settings: The material master record may have settings that conflict with the storage type settings, such as not being assigned to a fixed bin.
  Warehouse Management Settings: The warehouse management settings may not be properly aligned with the material management settings, leading to this conflict.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Storage Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration of the storage type in the Warehouse Management settings.
  Ensure that the storage type is correctly set up for fixed bin storage if that is the intended use.
  
  
  
  Review Material Master Data:
  
  Check the material master record for the material in question.
  Ensure that the material is assigned to the correct storage type and that it is compatible with fixed bin storage.
  
  
  
  Movement Type Settings:
  
  Review the movement type being used for the transaction. Ensure that it is compatible with fixed bin storage.
  If necessary, change the movement type to one that supports fixed bin storage.
  
  
  
  Warehouse Management Settings:
  
  Ensure that the warehouse management settings are consistent with the material management settings.
  Check if the warehouse is set up to allow for both fixed and non-fixed bin storage and adjust as necessary.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific configuration settings related to fixed bin storage and movement types.

  Testing: After making changes, perform a test transaction to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
