• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COWBHU111 - No HUs exist for order &1 ?

  The SAP error message COWBHU111, which states "No HUs exist for order &1," typically occurs in the context of handling units (HUs) in warehouse management processes. This error indicates that the system cannot find any handling units associated with the specified order.
  Cause:
  
  
  No Handling Units Created: The most common cause is that no handling units have been created for the specified order. This can happen if the order was not processed correctly or if the handling units were not generated during the goods movement.
  
  
  Incorrect Order Reference: The order number provided in the error message may be incorrect or does not exist in the system.
