How To Fix HUDIALOG101 - You cannot pack items without plant/storage location

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: HUDIALOG - Messages from packaging dialog

• Message number: 101

• Message text: You cannot pack items without plant/storage location

What causes this issue?

The batch and serial number requirement of the material are not known
as long as the item has not been allocated to a
<DS:DE.PLANTS_D>PLANT</>. Items without plant assignment are therefore
not suggested for packing.
The <DS:DE.STOR.LOC._D>Storage location/> controls if a handling unit
contains stock information. Since this information must be known at the
time of packing, the items without storage location will not be
suggested for packing.
Exception: on the document of inbound delivery, the material is
non-existent on stock level. Thus, there is no storage location
requirement on the document of inbound delivery.

System Response

Items whose plant and/or storage location are not known cannot be
packed and will not be offered for packing.

How to fix this error?

Return to the delivery item processing and maintain the plant / storage
location for the affected items.
