  The SAP error message HUDIALOG051 indicates that a status change for a Handling Unit (HU) in a Storage Location (SLOC) can only be performed through a posting change. This typically occurs when you attempt to change the status of a Handling Unit directly in a way that is not allowed by the system's configuration or business logic.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Status Change Attempt: You may be trying to change the status of a Handling Unit (e.g., from "In Process" to "Completed") without going through the proper posting change process.
  System Configuration: The system is configured to require that certain status changes can only be made through specific transactions that involve posting changes.
  Handling Unit Management Settings: The settings in the Handling Unit Management (HUM) module may restrict direct status changes to ensure data integrity and proper inventory management.

  HU Management Transactions: Use specific HUM transactions that allow for status changes through posting.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration: If you believe that the status change should be allowed, check the configuration settings in the Handling Unit Management module to ensure that the system is set up correctly for your business processes.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for handling Handling Units to ensure compliance with the required processes.
