  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /CWM/HU001 - CM material item &1 not packable with parallel quantity &2 &3 ?

    The SAP error message /CWM/HU001 CM material item &1 not packable with parallel quantity &2 &3 typically occurs in the context of handling unit (HU) management within the SAP system, particularly when dealing with packing materials or items that cannot be packed together due to certain constraints.

    Cause:

    1. Material Configuration: The material item specified in the error message may not be configured to be packable. This could be due to settings in the material master data that restrict packing.
    2. Parallel Quantity: The specified parallel quantity may exceed the allowable limits for the material item. This can happen if the system is trying to pack more items than are allowed based on the material's packing specifications.
    3. Handling Unit Settings: The handling unit settings for the material may not allow for the specified quantity or type of packing.
    4. Compatibility Issues: The materials being packed together may not be compatible due to various reasons such as size, weight, or other packing constraints.

    Solution:

    1. Check Material Master Data: Review the material master data for the item specified in the error message. Ensure that the packing settings are correctly configured and that the material is marked as packable.
    2. Review Packing Instructions: Check the packing instructions and ensure that the parallel quantity being used is within the allowed limits for the material.
    3. Adjust Parallel Quantity: If the parallel quantity exceeds the allowed limits, try reducing the quantity to see if the error persists.
    4. Handling Unit Configuration: Verify the handling unit configuration to ensure that it allows for the packing of the specified materials together.
    5. Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on handling unit management and packing configurations.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: You may want to use transaction codes like HU02 (Change Handling Unit) or HU03 (Display Handling Unit) to investigate the handling units involved.
    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address known issues or provide additional guidance on handling unit errors.
    • User Exits and BAdIs: If custom logic is involved in packing, review any user exits or BAdIs that may affect packing behavior.
    • Testing: After making changes, perform tests to ensure that the error is resolved and that packing can be completed successfully.

    If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in logistics and handling unit management.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages (message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.

An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
