• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BORGR161 - Several HUs found for these entries: Status not set ?

  The SAP error message BORGR161 indicates that there are multiple Handling Units (HUs) found for the entries you are trying to process, but the system is unable to determine which one to use because the status is not set. This typically occurs in the context of warehouse management or logistics processes where handling units are involved.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Handling Units: The system has identified more than one handling unit that matches the criteria for the operation you are trying to perform (e.g., goods movement, delivery processing).
  Status Not Set: The handling units in question do not have a clear status assigned, which prevents the system from determining which handling unit to use for the operation.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data related to the handling units, such as missing or incorrect status information.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Handling Units: Review the handling units associated with the entries you are processing. You can do this by using transaction codes like HU02 (Display Handling Unit) or HU03 (Change Handling Unit) to see the details of the handling units.
  Set Status: Ensure that the handling units have a valid status set. You may need to change the status of the handling units to a valid one that allows processing.
  Clear Duplicates: If there are multiple handling units that are not needed, consider consolidating or removing the duplicates to avoid confusion.
  Use Specific Handling Unit: If you know which handling unit you want to use, you can specify it directly in your transaction to bypass the ambiguity.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for handling units to ensure compliance with processes.
