• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GOODSMOVEMENT022 - Storage location &1 in plant &2 is HU managed; goods movemnt not possible ?

  The SAP error message GOODSMOVEMENT022 indicates that a goods movement cannot be processed because the specified storage location is managed by Handling Units (HUs). This means that the system expects that all inventory movements in this storage location should be handled through HUs, and direct movements without HUs are not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Storage Location Configuration: The storage location in question is configured to manage inventory using Handling Units. This is typically set up in the material master or storage location settings.
  Goods Movement Type: The goods movement type being used does not support handling units, or the movement is being attempted without specifying a handling unit.
  Incorrect Process: The user may be trying to perform a goods movement that is not compatible with the handling unit management process.
  
  Solution:
  
  Use Handling Units: Ensure that you are using handling units for the goods movement. You can create or specify a handling unit when performing the movement.
  Check Movement Type: Verify that the movement type you are using is appropriate for handling unit-managed storage locations. If necessary, use a different movement type that supports handling units.
  Review Configuration: If you believe that the storage location should not be HU-managed, review the configuration settings in the material master and storage location settings to determine if the handling unit management can be disabled.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific instructions on handling unit management and goods movements.
