  The SAP error message BORGR167 indicates that there are inbound deliveries associated with a shipment that are still packed in handling units (HUs). This typically occurs during the process of managing shipments and handling units in the SAP system, particularly in the context of logistics and warehouse management.
  Cause:
  
  Unpacked Handling Units: The error arises when there are inbound deliveries that have not been fully unpacked or processed, meaning that the system still recognizes them as being packed in handling units.
  Incomplete Processing: The shipment may not have been fully processed, or there may be inconsistencies in the handling unit management.
  System Configuration Issues: There could be configuration issues in the SAP system related to handling units or shipment processing.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the BORGR167 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Handling Units:
  
  Go to the handling unit management screen and check the status of the handling units associated with the shipment.
  Ensure that all handling units are either unpacked or processed correctly.
  
  
  
  Unpack Handling Units:
  
  If there are handling units that are still packed, you may need to unpack them. This can be done through the handling unit management transaction (e.g., HU02) or through the relevant transaction for unpacking.
  
  
  
  Review Inbound Deliveries:
  
  Check the inbound deliveries linked to the shipment. Ensure that they are correctly processed and that there are no outstanding issues.
