3531185 - Storage Bin Structure error - Format may only contain the characters C, N, and A

Symptom

When creating a mass bin generation using the "Define Storage Bin Structure" configuration activity, an error message occurs stating: "Format may only contain the characters C, N, and A" /SCWM/LT040. 

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
 

Cause

The template can contain only C, N, A characters. They stand for:

  • C - constant character common for all the bins
  • N - number
  • A - letter

Resolution

One of the possible causes of this error message is described below:

  • The template should be fully filled
  • The increment for each part of the structure should be greater than 0
  • The template mustn't contain space characters. So even if a bin number contains a space, you need to put C in the template at that place.
