"The capitalist distribution network, a complex chain of factory, transport, warehouse and retail outlet, is one of the greatest male accomplishments in the history of culture." - Camille Paglia


This quote about a series of blog-posts about warehouse management system (WMS) - SAP EWM



Prerequisites.


You received an error during WT creation:

Maximum volume (incl. tolerance) for HUXXXXXXX was exceeded by 198.134 M3. Message No. /SCWM/HUGENERAL064

 


 

Resolution.


Step 1. Master Data in ERP


A common  case when SAP EWM consume master data from outside (basically from SAP ERP)

Goto transaction MM02 (Change Material) in ERP system

Section Basic Data 1/ Dimensions


Check and fix value in the fields:


  • Gross Weight

  • Net Weight

  • Volume


For example, small thing (something like paper instruction) can't weigh 1KG

One HU can contain hundreds of thousands paper instructions

100.000 x 1KG -> maximum volume was exceeded in HU






On this step, you fix master data in SAP ERP and correct values integrated to SAP EWM


Step 2. Master Data in EWM


Check correct master data in transaction /SCWM/MAT1 (Display/Change/Create Warehouse Task)

Section Properties / Measurement and Weights

but correct values in /SCWM/MAT1 maybe not enough in this situation. You must recalculate HU capacity yet


Step 3. Recalculate HU Capacity


Step. 3.1. Download/Open ZRECALCULATE_CAPA ABAP Report

Copy ABAP code to clipboard


Alternative - Note 2333338

2333338 - CHM: Capacity correction




Step. 3.2. Create a New Report


Create New Report  ZRECALCULATE_CAPA  in Transaction SE38 and paste ABAP text from a clipboard


Alternative - Note 2333338

2333338 - CHM: Capacity correction



Step. 3.3. Execute  Report ZRECALCULATE_CAPA


Lgnum - Warehouse number

Storage bin - You can check storage bin address for HUXXXXXXX in Transaction /SCWM/MON)

Save log to DB - checked

Simulation and Update - checked






Result.  Report recalculate HU Capacity in two HU








Step 4 (optional). Assign Z-report to Transaction


Go to Transaction code se93

Give a transaction name you want to create.

For example ZRECALCHU



Execute create button

Give a sort of text.

Choose the first radio button & Enter

Give the custom program name for which you want to create a transaction

(In our case ZRECALCULATE_CAPA)

Give the screen no as 1000

Check all the checkbox under GUI support

Save & Activate


Alternative - Note 2333338

2333338 - CHM: Capacity correction
