• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /CWM/MM032 - Movement type & non-CW materials may not be posted ?

  The SAP error message /CWM/MM032 Movement type & non-CW materials may not be posted typically occurs in the context of SAP's Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) or Central Warehouse Management (CWM) when trying to perform a movement for materials that are not classified as "Cross-warehouse" (CW) materials. This error indicates that the movement type you are trying to use is restricted to CW materials only.
  Cause:
  
  Material Classification: The material you are trying to move is not classified as a CW material. This classification is essential for certain movement types that are designed to work only with CW materials.
  Movement Type Restrictions: The movement type you are using is configured to only allow postings for CW materials. Non-CW materials cannot be processed with this movement type.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that restrict the movement of non-CW materials.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Classification:
  
  Verify the classification of the material in question. You can do this by checking the material master data in the SAP system.
  If the material should be classified as CW, you may need to update its classification in the material master.
  
  
  
  Use Appropriate Movement Type:
  
  If the material is indeed a non-CW material, you will need to use a different movement type that allows postings for non-CW materials.
  Consult with your SAP configuration team to identify which movement types are appropriate for non-CW materials.
  
  
  
  Configuration Review:
  
  Review the configuration settings for movement types in the SAP system. This may involve checking the settings in the Customizing (SPRO) for Warehouse Management or Inventory Management.
  Ensure that the movement types are correctly set up to handle the types of materials you are working with.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on movement types and material classifications.
  
  
  
  Contact Support:
  
  If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with SAP experts who can provide guidance based on your specific system configuration.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Material Master Data: The material master contains all the information about a material that is required to manage it in the system. This includes classification, valuation, and other key attributes.
  Movement Types: Movement types in SAP define the type of stock movement (e.g., goods receipt, goods issue, transfer postings) and the rules associated with those movements.
  Warehouse Management Configuration: The configuration of warehouse management in SAP can be complex, and it is essential to ensure that all settings align with business processes and material classifications.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the error message and successfully process the material movements in your SAP system.
