• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /CWM/HU006 - Permitted parallel quantity exceeded ?

  The SAP error message /CWM/HU006 Permitted parallel quantity exceeded typically occurs in the context of handling units (HUs) in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) or SAP Warehouse Management (WM). This error indicates that the quantity of handling units being processed in parallel exceeds the permitted limit set in the system configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Limits: The system has a configuration setting that limits the number of handling units that can be processed in parallel. If the operation you are trying to perform exceeds this limit, the error will be triggered.
  Business Process Constraints: Certain business processes may have defined limits on how many handling units can be processed simultaneously to ensure system performance and data integrity.
  User Settings: Individual user settings or roles may also impose restrictions on the number of handling units that can be processed in parallel.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration Settings:
  
  Navigate to the configuration settings in SAP EWM or WM to review the limits set for parallel processing of handling units.
  You may need to adjust the configuration to allow for a higher number of parallel handling units if business processes require it.
  
  
  
  Review Business Processes:
  
  Analyze the specific business process you are executing to determine if the limit is appropriate. If necessary, consult with business process owners to understand the implications of increasing the limit.
  
  
  
  Batch Processing:
  
  If increasing the limit is not feasible, consider processing the handling units in smaller batches that comply with the existing limits.
  
  
  
  User Role Review:
  
  Check the user roles and permissions to ensure that they are not inadvertently restricting the number of handling units that can be processed in parallel.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling units and parallel processing limits.
  
  
  
  Contact SAP Support:
  
  If the issue persists after checking the above points, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance. They may provide insights specific to your system configuration or version.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP EWM/WM that deal with handling units, such as /SCWM/HU for handling unit management.
  SAP Notes: Search for SAP Notes related to handling units and parallel processing limits, as they may contain patches or updates that address known issues.
  Training and Documentation: Ensure that users are trained on the handling unit processes and understand the implications of parallel processing limits.
